Members of the Arabidopsis actin gene family are widely dispersed in the genome.
Article in Genetics, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Plant genomes are subjected to a variety of DNA turnover mechanisms that are thought to result in rapid expansion and presumable contraction of gene copy number. The evolutionary history of the 10 actin genes in Arabidopsis thaliana is well characterized and can be traced to the origin of vascular plant genomes. Knowledge about the genomic position of each actin gene may be the key to tracing landmark genomic duplication events that define plant families or genera and facilitate further mutant isolation. All 10 actin genes were mapped by following the segregation of cleaved amplified polymorphisms between two ecotypes and identifying actin gene locations among yeast artificial chromosomes. The Arabidopsis actin genes are widely dispersed on four different chromosomes (1, 2, 3, and 5). Even the members of three closely related and recently duplicated pairs of actin genes are unlinked. Several other cytoskeletal genes (profilins, tubulins) that might have evolved in concert with actins were also mapped, but showed few patterns consistent with that evolutionary history. Thus, the events that gave rise to the actin gene family have been obscured either by the duplication of very small genic fragments or by extensive rearrangement of the genome.
