Positive selection near an inversion breakpoint on the neo-X chromosome of Drosophila americana.
Article in Genetics, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Unique features of heteromorphic sex chromosomes are produced as a consequence of sex-linked transmission. Alternative models concerning the evolution of sex chromosomes can be classified in terms of genetic drift or positive selection being the primary mechanism of divergence between this chromosomal pair. This study examines early changes on a newly acquired chromosomal arm of the X in Drosophila americana, which was derived from a centromeric fusion between the ancestral X and previously autosomal chromosome 4 (element B). Breakpoints of a chromosomal inversion In(4)a, which is restricted to the neo-X, are identified and used to guide a sequence analysis along chromosome 4. Loci flanking the distal breakpoint exhibit patterns of sequence diversity consistent with neutral evolution, yet loci near the proximal breakpoint reveal distinct imprints of positive selection within the neo-X chromosomal class containing In(4)a. Data from six separate positions examined throughout the proximal region reveal a pattern of recent turnover driven by two independent sweeps among chromosomes with the inverted gene arrangement. Selection-mediated establishment of an extended haplotype associated with recombination-suppressing inversions on the neo-X indicates a pattern of active coadaptation apparently initiated by X-linked transmission and potentially sustained by intralocus sexual conflict.
