Phylogenomics of the Phylum Proteobacteria: Resolving the Complex Relationships.
Article in Current microbiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
Proteobacteria is one of the largest and phenotypically most diverse divisions within the domain bacteria. Due to the economic importance, this phylum demands an urgent need for a clear and scientifically sound classification system to streamline their characterization. The goal of our study was to carefully reevaluate the current system of classification and suggest changes wherein necessary. Phylogenetic trees of 84 Proteobacteria were constructed using single gene-based phylogeny involving 16S rRNA genes and protein sequences of 85 conserved genes, whole genome-based phylogenetic tree using CVtree3.0, amino acid Identity matrix tree, and concatenated tree with aforementioned conserved genes. The results of our study confirm the polyphyletic relationship between Desulfurella acetivorans, a Deltaproteobacteria with Epsilonproteobacteria. The group Syntrophobacterales was found to be polyphyletic with respect to Desulfarculus baarsii and the group Thiotrichales was found to be splitting in different phylogenetic trees. Placement of phylogenetic groups belonging to Rhodocyclales, Oceonospirilalles, and Chromatiales is controversial and requires further study and revisions. Based on our analysis, we strongly support reclassification of Magnetococcales as a separate class Etaproteobacteria. From our results, we conclude that concatenated trees of conserved proteins are a more accurate method for phylogenetic analysis, as compared to other methods used.
