Avian sex chromosomes: dosage compensation matters.

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
In 2001 it was established that, contrary to our previous understanding, a mechanism exists that equalises the expression levels of Z chromosome genes found in male (ZZ) and female (ZW) birds (McQueen et al. 2001). More recent large scale studies have revealed that avian dosage compensation is not a chromosome-wide phenomenon and that the degree of dosage compensation can vary between genes (Itoh et al. 2007; Ellegren et al. 2007). Although, surprisingly, dosage compensation has recently been described as absent in birds (Mank and Ellegren 2009b), this interpretation is not supported by the accumulated evidence, which indicates that a significant proportion of Z chromosome genes show robust dosage compensation and that a particular cluster of such dosage compensated genes can be found on the short arm of the Z chromosome. The implications of this new picture of avian dosage compensation for avian sex determination are discussed, along with a possible mechanism of avian dosage compensation.
