A new era of mutation rate analyses: Concepts and methods.
Review in Zoological research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The mutation rate is a pivotal biological characteristic, intricately governed by natural selection and historically garnering considerable attention. Recent advances in high-throughput sequencing and analytical methodologies have profoundly transformed our understanding in this domain, ushering in an unprecedented era of mutation rate research. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the key concepts and methodologies frequently employed in the study of mutation rates. It examines various types of mutations, explores the evolutionary dynamics and associated theories, and synthesizes both classical and contemporary hypotheses. Furthermore, this review comprehensively explores recent advances in understanding germline and somatic mutations in animals and offers an overview of experimental methodologies, mutational patterns, molecular mechanisms, and driving forces influencing variations in mutation rates across species and tissues. Finally, it proposes several potential research directions and pressing questions for future investigations.
