The phylogeny of tRNAs seems to confirm the predictions of the coevolution theory of the origin of the genetic code.
Article in Origins of life and evolution of the biosphere : the journal of the International Society for the Study of the Origin of Life, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
An extensive analysis of the evolutionary relationships existing between transfer RNAs, performed using parsimony algorithms, is presented. After building up an estimate of the tRNA ancestral sequences, these sequences are then compared using certain methods. The results seem to suggest that the coevolution hypothesis (Wong, J.T., 1975, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 72, 1909-1912) that sees the genetic code as a map of the biosynthetic relationships between amino acids is further supported by these results, as compared to the hypotheses that see the physicochemical properties of amino acids as the main adaptative theme that led to the structuring of the genetic code.
