The Evolution of Sex Chromosomes and Dosage Compensation in Plants.
Article in Genome biology and evolution, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 45 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
Plant sex chromosomes can be vastly different from those of the few historical animal model organisms from which most of our understanding of sex chromosome evolution is derived. Recently, we have seen several advancements from studies on green algae, brown algae, and land plants that are providing a broader understanding of the variable ways in which sex chromosomes can evolve in distant eukaryotic groups. Plant sex-determining genes are being identified and, as expected, are completely different from those in animals. Species with varying levels of differentiation between the X and Y have been found in plants, and these are hypothesized to be representing different stages of sex chromosome evolution. However, we are also finding that sex chromosomes can remain morphologically unchanged over extended periods of time. Where degeneration of the Y occurs, it appears to proceed similarly in plants and animals. Dosage compensation (a phenomenon that compensates for the consequent loss of expression from the Y) has now been documented in a plant system, its mechanism, however, remains unknown. Research has also begun on the role of sex chromosomes in sexual conflict resolution, and it appears that sex-biased genes evolve similarly in plants and animals, although the functions of these genes remain poorly studied. Because the difficulty in obtaining sex chromosome sequences is increasingly being overcome by methodological developments, there is great potential for further discovery within the field of plant sex chromosome evolution.
