1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Gene duplication is the primary mechanism by which new genes emerge. Models and empirical studies have shown that paralogous genes are maintained because of dosage benefits, the partitioning of ancestral functions or the acquisition of new functions. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms and the relative importance of the factors driving evolution towards one fate or another have remained difficult to quantify. Recent advances in experimental and computational methods, such as gene editing, deep mutational scanning and ancestral sequence reconstruction, have enabled molecular analyses of duplicated gene evolution across timescales. Combined, these approaches are revealing how adaptive and non-adaptive evolutionary forces shape the modern fates of gene duplicates.
