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

In mathematical models of phylogenetic trees evolving in time, a labelled history for a rooted labelled bifurcating tree is a temporal sequence of the branchings that give rise to the tree. That is, given a leaf-labelled tree with [Formula: see text] leaves and [Formula: see text] internal nodes, a labelled history is an identification between the internal nodes and the set [Formula: see text], such that the label assigned to a given node is strictly greater than the labels assigned to its descendants. We generalize the concept of labelled histories to [Formula: see text]-furcating trees. Consider a rooted labelled tree in which each internal node has exactly [Formula: see text] children, [Formula: see text]. We first generalize the enumeration of labelled histories for a bifurcating tree ([Formula: see text]) to enumerate labelled histories for an [Formula: see text]-furcating tree with arbitrary [Formula: see text]. We formulate a conjecture for the rooted unlabelled [Formula: see text]-furcating tree shape on [Formula: see text] internal nodes whose labelled topologies have the most labelled histories. Finally, we enumerate labelled histories for [Formula: see text]-furcating trees in a setting that allows for simultaneous branchings. These results advance mathematical phylogenetic modelling by extending computations concerning fundamental features of bifurcating phylogenetic trees to a more general class of multifurcating trees.This article is part of the theme issue '"A mathematical theory of evolution": phylogenetic models dating back 100 years'.
