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

The George W. Beadle Award honors individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the community of genetics researchers as a whole and led an exemplary research career. The 2025 awardee is Sudhir Kumar from Temple University, who has not only pushed the intellectual frontier of evolutionary genetics but has also served the community through numerous contributions to creating, disseminating, maintaining, and advancing invaluable software for molecular evolutionary genetics analyses (MEGA) and a web-accessible resource for species divergence times (TimeTree). In the essay below, Kumar traces the initiation and evolution of these resources and explains how these developments have driven his research program to develop computationally efficient and environmentally friendly innovations to address the growing need to analyze increasingly larger sequence data sets.
