Analysis of the genetic diversity in RNA-directed RNA polymerase sequences: implications for an automated RNA virus classification system.
Article in Virus evolution, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
RNA viruses are characterized by a broad host range and high levels of genetic diversity. Despite a recent expansion in the known virosphere following metagenomic sequencing, our knowledge of the species rank genetic diversity of RNA viruses, and how often they are misassigned and misclassified, is limited. We performed a clustering analysis of 7801 RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRp) sequences representing 1897 established RNA virus species. From this, we identified substantial genetic divergence within some virus species and inconsistency in RNA virus assignment between the GenBank database and The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV). In particular, 27.57% virus species comprised multiple virus operational taxonomic units (vOTUs), including
