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

Population genomics is an increasingly popular approach to investigate the genetic basis of adaptation and speciation at the genome scale. However, it has so far largely failed to go beyond the mere identification of anonymous markers displaying selection signatures. Will population genomics ever be up to our expectations and able to really pinpoint genes underlying adaptation and speciation processes? In this issue of Molecular Ecology, Namroud et al. use population genomics to investigate local adaptation in natural populations of a conifer tree, the white spruce (Picea glauca). They show how population and functional genomics can finally converge with the deployment of the next generation of genome scans, which target gene-rich regions rather than the whole genome.
