Degrees of convergent evolution in rodent adaptations to arid environments.
Article in Genome research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Species adapting to a similar lifestyle may undergo convergent changes in organ structure and cellular function, themselves relying or not on these convergent genetic changes. The extent of genomic convergence is thus debated and may further depend on the interplay between temporal factors, such as species relatedness or the age of the transition. Rodents have repeatedly adapted to life in arid conditions, notably with altered renal morphology and physiology. By analyzing kidney transcriptomes from 33 species, we find convergence at all examined biological levels, from the whole kidney transcriptome down to the coding sequences and expression level of individual genes. Transcriptome-level signatures reflect convergent changes in cell proportions, suggesting convergent structural adaptations of the kidney. A large proportion of genes shows convergent substitutions, but those happened in small subsets of species, showing that there are multiple genetic paths repeatedly taken in a mosaic manner. A similar mosaic signal of convergence is found comparing gene expression in species spanning the
