Quantifying In-Host Quasispecies Evolution.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
What takes decades, centuries or millennia to happen with a natural ecosystem, it takes only days, weeks or months with a replicating viral quasispecies in a host, especially when under treatment. Some methods to quantify the evolution of a quasispecies are introduced and discussed, along with simple simulated examples to help in the interpretation and understanding of the results. The proposed methods treat the molecules in a quasispecies as individuals of competing species in an ecosystem, where the haplotypes are the competing species, and the ecosystem is the quasispecies in a host, and the evolution of the system is quantified by monitoring changes in haplotype frequencies. The correlation between the proposed indices is also discussed, and the R code used to generate the simulations, the data and the plots is provided. The virtues of the proposed indices are finally shown on a clinical case.
