Mating system evolution and genetic structure of diploid sexual populations of Cyrtomium falcatum in Japan.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Evolution of mating systems has become one of the most important research areas in evolutionary biology. Cyrtomium falcatum is a homosporous fern species native to eastern Asia. Two subspecies belonging to a sexual diploid race of C. falcatum are recognized: subsp. littorale and subsp. australe. Subspecies littorale shows intermediate selfing rates, while subsp. australe is an obligate outcrosser. We aimed to evaluate the process of mating system evolution and divergence for the two subspecies using restriction site associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq). The results showed that subsp. littorale had lower genetic diversity and stronger genetic drift than subsp. australe. Fluctuations in the effective population size over time were evaluated by extended Bayesian skyline plot and Stairway plot analyses, both of which revealed a severe population bottleneck about 20,000 years ago in subsp. littorale. This bottleneck and the subsequent range expansion after the LGM appear to have played an important role in the divergence of the two subspecies and the evolution of selfing in subsp. littorale. These results shed new light on the relationship between mating system evolution and past demographic change in fern species.
