Exegeses on maximum genetic differentiation.
Article in Genetics, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
A canon of population genetics concerns the properties of FST, a descriptor of spatial genetic structure. Interest for FST arose from Wright's early insights linking FST to dispersal parameters as well as to his concept of effective population size (e.g., Wright 1938, 1951). Although there is continued interest in this topic, FST also serves in other applications, such as detecting selected markers in natural populations (Beaumont and Nichols 1996) and more often in routine descriptive works. Remarkably, it is the latter use that seems to attract most discussion. Alternative descriptors have been proposed. Conversely, attempts have been made to draw biological inferences from FST properties that do not depend on biological processes. A reconsideration of its properties under biological scenarios underlines the weaknesses of such approaches.
