Determining and dating recent rodent speciation events by using L1 (LINE-1) retrotransposons.
Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
Phylogenies based on the inheritance of shared derived characters will be ambiguous when the shared characters are not the result of common ancestry. Such characters are called homoplasies. Phylogenetic analysis also can be problematic if the characters have not changed sufficiently, as might be the case for rapid or recent speciations. The latter are of particular interest because evolutionary processes may be more accessible the more recent the speciation. The repeated DNA subfamilies generated by the mammalian L1 (LINE-1) retrotransposon are apparently homoplasy-free phylogenetic characters. L1 retrotransposons are transmitted only by inheritance and rapidly generate novel variants that produce distinct subfamilies of mostly defective copies, which then "age" as they diverge. Here we show that the L1 character can both resolve and date recent speciation events within the large group of very closely related rats known as Rattus sensu stricto. This lineage arose 5-6 million years ago (Mya) and subsequently underwent two episodes of speciation: an intense one, approximately 2.7 Mya, produced at least five lineages in <0.3 My; a second began approximately 1.2 Mya and may still be continuing.
