Recombination-suppression: how many mechanisms for chromosomal speciation?
Article in Genetica, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Over the past decade several theoretical and empirical studies have revived interest in the role of chromosomes in speciation. The resulting models do not suffer from the problems experienced by previously proposed mechanisms of chromosomal speciation, because they invoke suppression of recombination rather than a reduction in the fitness of heterokaryotypes as their core process. However, they are not free from difficulties. The evidence for recombination-suppression models is discussed here. The general conclusion is that a consensus opinion on which models best describe the real-world situation is currently unlikely because of an inability of the available empirical evidence to fully distinguish between them, which may be due in part to a lack of exclusivity. I argue that future work should take this lack of exclusivity into account. Resolving the biogeography of speciation is also suggested in order to tell the various models apart. Further study is needed which focuses on confirming the operation of individual elements of the various models, rather than attempting to validate any single mechanism as a whole.
