Prefecture-level population structure of the Japanese based on SNP genotypes of 11,069 individuals.
Article in Journal of human genetics, 2021. 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
We analyzed genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism data of 11,069 Japanese individuals recruited from all 47 prefectures of Japan to clarify their genetic structure. The principal component analysis at the prefectural level enabled us to study the relationship between geographical location and genetic differentiation. The results revealed that the mainland Japanese were not genetically homogeneous, and the genetic structure could be explained mainly by the degree of Jomon ancestry and the geographical location. One of the interesting findings was that individuals in the Shikoku region (i.e., Tokushima Prefecture, Kagawa Prefecture, Ehime Prefecture, and Kochi Prefecture) were genetically close to Han Chinese. Therefore, the genetic components of immigrants from continental East Asia in the Yayoi period may have been well maintained in Shikoku. The present results will be useful for understanding the peopling of Japan, and also provide suggestions for recruiting subjects in genetic association studies.
