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

Sympatric speciation is still debatable, though some well documented empirical data that support it already exist. Our computer modeling reveals that sympatric speciation is an intrinsic property of the expanding populations with differentiated inbreeding-higher at the edges and lower inside the territory. At the edges of expanding populations, the probability of forming deleterious phenotypes by placing two defective alleles in the corresponding loci is relatively high even with low genetic load. Thus, the winning strategy is to use rather the complementary haplotypes to form zygotes. This strategy leads to a very fast sympatric speciation and specific distribution of recombination activity along the chromosomes-higher at the subtelomeric regions (close to the ends of chromosomes) and lower in the middle of chromosomes, which is also observed in all human chromosomes (excluding Y).
