Localization of the genetic determinants of meiosis suppression in Daphnia pulex.
Article in Genetics, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 39 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
Although approximately 1 in 10,000 animal species is capable of parthenogenetic reproduction, the evolutionary causes and consequences of such transitions remain uncertain. The microcrustacean Daphnia pulex provides a potentially powerful tool for investigating these issues because lineages that are obligately asexual in terms of female function can nevertheless transmit meiosis-suppressing genes to sexual populations via haploid sperm produced by environmentally induced males. The application of association mapping to a wide geographic collection of D. pulex clones suggests that sex-limited meiosis suppression in D. pulex has spread westward from a northeastern glacial refugium, conveyed by a dominant epistatic interaction among the products of at least four unlinked loci, with one entire chromosome being inherited through males in a nearly nonrecombining fashion. With the enormous set of genomic tools now available for D. pulex, these results set the stage for the determination of the functional underpinnings of the conversion of meiosis to a mitotic-like mode of inheritance.
