Sex-chromosome evolution in frogs: what role for sex-antagonistic genes?
Article in Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
Sex-antagonistic (SA) genes are widely considered to be crucial players in the evolution of sex chromosomes, being instrumental in the arrest of recombination and degeneration of Y chromosomes, as well as important drivers of sex-chromosome turnovers. To test such claims, one needs to focus on systems at the early stages of differentiation, ideally with a high turnover rate. Here, I review recent work on two families of amphibians, Ranidae (true frogs) and Hylidae (tree frogs), to show that results gathered so far from these groups provide no support for a significant role of SA genes in the evolutionary dynamics of their sex chromosomes. The findings support instead a central role for neutral processes and deleterious mutations. This article is part of the theme issue 'Challenging the paradigm in sex chromosome evolution: empirical and theoretical insights with a focus on vertebrates (Part I)'.
