Paleopteran molecular clock: Time drift and recent acceleration.
Article in Ecology and 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
Applying BEAST v1.10.4, we constructed a Bayesian Inference tree comprising 322 taxa, primarily representing Paleoptera (Odonata and Ephemeroptera; Pterygota), Zygentoma and Archaeognatha (Apterygota; paraphyly), and Neoptera (Plecoptera; Pterygota), based on a 2685 bp sequence dataset. Our analyses revealed that robust dating required the incorporation of both Quaternary and pre-Quaternary dates. To achieve this, our dating incorporated a 1.55 Ma (Quaternary) geological event (the formation of the Ryukyu Islands) and a set of chronologically well-founded fossil dates, spanning from up to 400 Ma (Devonian) for the stem Archaeognatha, 320 Ma (Carboniferous) for the crown of Paleoptera, 300 Ma (Carboniferous) for the crown Ephemeroptera, and 280 Ma (Permian) for the crown Odonata, down to 1.76 Ma (Quaternary) for
