1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Mollusca is the second-largest animal phylum with over 100,000 extant species representing eight classes. Across 1000 extant species in the class Polyplacophora, chitons have a relatively constrained morphology but with some notable deviations. Several genera possess "shell eyes", i.e., true eyes with a lens and retina that are embedded within the dorsal shells. The phylogeny of the major chiton clades is mostly well established, in a set of superfamily-level and higher level taxa supported by various approaches, including morphological studies, multiple gene markers, mitogenome-phylogeny, and phylotranscriptomic approaches. However, one critical lineage has remained unclear, namely
