Multiple Infiltration and Cross-Species Transmission of Foamy Viruses across the Paleozoic to the Cenozoic Era.
Article in Journal of virology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Foamy viruses (FVs) are complex retroviruses that can infect humans and other animals. In this study, by integrating transcriptomic and genomic data, we discovered 412 FVs from 6 lineages in amphibians, which significantly increased the known set of FVs in amphibians. Among these lineages, salamander FVs maintained a coevolutionary pattern with their hosts that could be dated back to the Paleozoic era, while in contrast, frog FVs were much more likely acquired from cross-species (class-level) transmission in the Cenozoic era. In addition, we found that three distinct FV lineages had integrated into the genome of a salamander. Unexpectedly, we identified a lineage of endogenous FVs in caecilians that expressed all complete major genes, demonstrating the potential existence of an exogenous form of FV outside of mammals. Our discovery of rare phenomena in amphibian FVs has significantly increased our understanding of the macroevolution of the complex retrovirus.
