The origin and evolution of shrews (Soricidae, Mammalia).
Article in Proceedings. Biological sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Shrews are among the most speciose of mammalian clades, but their evolutionary history is poorly understood. Their fossil record is fragmentary and even the anatomy of living groups is not well documented. Here, we incorporate the oldest, most complete fossil shrew yet known into the first phylogenetic analysis of the group to include molecular, morphological and temporal data. Our study reveals previously unknown diversity among total- and crown-group soricids. This includes a novel element of the mammalian skeleton: a robust, needle-like sesamoid extending cranially from the second thoracic neural arch in Myosoricini, comparable in length to these species' humeri. Additionally, 'red-toothed' shrews have an unusually elongate basicranium, and 'white-toothed' shrews probably evolved from a common ancestor with dental pigmentation. The fossil
