Rapid Intraspecies Evolution of Fitness Effects of Yeast Genes.
Article in Genome biology and evolution, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Organisms within species have numerous genetic and phenotypic variations. Growing evidences show intraspecies variation of mutant phenotypes may be more complicated than expected. Current studies on intraspecies variations of mutant phenotypes are limited to just a few strains. This study investigated the intraspecies variation of fitness effects of 5,630 gene mutants in ten Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains using CRISPR-Cas9 screening. We found that the variability of fitness effects induced by gene disruptions is very large across different strains. Over 75% of genes affected cell fitness in a strain-specific manner to varying degrees. The strain specificity of the fitness effect of a gene is related to its evolutionary and functional properties. Subsequent analysis revealed that younger genes, especially those newly acquired in S. cerevisiae species, are more likely to be strongly strain-specific. Intriguingly, there seems to exist a ceiling of fitness effect size for strong strain-specific genes, and among them, the newly acquired genes are still evolving and have yet to reach this ceiling. Additionally, for a large proportion of protein complexes, the strain specificity profile is inconsistent among genes encoding the same complex. Taken together, these results offer a genome-wide map of intraspecies variation for fitness effect as a mutant phenotype and provide an updated insight on intraspecies phenotypic evolution.
