Drosophila germline sex determination: integration of germline autonomous cues and somatic signals.
Article in Current topics in developmental biology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
The Drosophila testis and ovary are major genetically tractable systems for studying stem cells and their regulation. This has resulted in a deep understanding of germline stem cell regulation by the microenvironment, or niche. The male and female germline niches differ. Since sex is determined through different mechanisms in the soma than in the germline, genetic or physical manipulations can be used to experimentally mismatch somatic and germline sexual identities. The phenotypic consequences of these mismatches have striking similarities to those resulting from manipulations of signals within the niche. A critical role of the germline sex determination pathway may therefore be to ensure the proper receipt and processing of signals from the niche.
