Molecular characterization of the genomic region linked with apomixis in Pennisetum/Cenchrus.
Review in Functional & integrative genomics, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 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
Apomixis is defined as asexual reproduction through seeds, although this outcome can be achieved by multiple pathways. Since little is known about the molecular control of these pathways, how they might intersect is also a mystery. Two of these pathways in the grass family, diplospory and apospory, are receiving attention from molecular biologists. Apospory in Pennisetum/Cenchrus, two genera of panicoid grasses, results in the formation of four-nucleate embryo sacs that lack antipodals. Sexual reproduction frequently aborts so that the resulting seed is composed of (1) a parthenogenetically derived embryo that is genetically identical to the mother and (2) endosperm formed through pseudogamy. The transmission of apomixis is associated with the transfer of a linkage block on a single chromosome. This linkage block contains repetitive sequences as well as hemizygous, low-copy DNA sequences. Fluorescence in situ hybridization has demonstrated that these DNA regions occur on only a single chromosome, but not its homologs, in the polyploid apomicts studied. Features of the apomixis-associated region resemble those of other chromosomal segments isolated from recombination and replete with "selfish" DNAs.
