Signature of selective sweep associated with the evolution of sex-ratio drive in Drosophila simulans.
Article in Genetics, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
In several Drosophila species, the XY Mendelian ratio is disturbed by X-linked segregation distorters (sex-ratio drive). We used a collection of recombinants between a nondistorting chromosome and a distorting X chromosome originating from the Seychelles to map a candidate sex-ratio region in Drosophila simulans using molecular biallelic markers. Our data were compatible with the presence of a sex-ratio locus in the 7F cytological region. Using sequence polymorphism at the Nrg locus, we showed that sex-ratio has induced a strong selective sweep in populations from Madagascar and Réunion, where distorting chromosomes are close to a 50% frequency. The complete association between the marker and the sex-ratio phenotype and the near absence of mutations and recombination in the studied fragment after the sweep event indicate that this event is recent. Examples of selective sweeps are increasingly reported in a number of genomes. This case identifies the causal selective force. It illustrates that all selective sweeps are not necessarily indicative of an increase in the average fitness of populations.
