Different behaviour of C-banded peri-centromeric heterochromatin between sex chromosomes and autosomes in Polyphagan beetles.
Article in Comparative cytogenetics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Heterochromatin variation was studied after C-banding of male karyotypes with a XY sex formula from 224 species belonging to most of the main families of Coleoptera. The karyotypes were classified in relation with the ratio heterochromatin/euchromatin total amounts and the amounts of heterochromatin on autosomes and gonosomes were compared. The C-banded karyotypes of 19 species, representing characteristic profiles are presented. This analysis shows that there is a strong tendency for the homogenization of the size of the peri-centromeric C-banded heterochromatin on autosomes. The amount of heterochromatin on the X roughly follows the variations of autosomes. At contrast, the C-banded heterochromatin of the Y, most frequently absent or very small and rarely amplified, looks quite independent from that of other chromosomes. We conclude that the Xs and autosomes, but not the Y, possibly share some, but not all mechanisms of heterochromatin amplification/reduction. The theoretical models of heterochromatin expansion are discussed in the light of these data.
