The maize abnormal chromosome 10 meiotic drive haplotype: a review.
Review in Chromosome research : an international journal on the molecular, supramolecular and evolutionary aspects of chromosome biology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
The maize abnormal chromosome 10 (Ab10) haplotype encodes a meiotic drive system that converts heterochromatic knobs into centromere-like bodies that are preferentially segregated through female meiosis. Ab10 was first described in the 1940s and has been intensively studied. Here I provide a comprehensive review of the literature, starting from the discovery of knobs and Ab10, preceding through the classic literature, and finishing with molecular structure and mechanisms. The defining features of the Ab10 haplotype are its two specialized kinesins, Kinesin driver and TR-1 kinesin, that activate neocentromeres at knobs containing different classes of the tandem repeat. In most Ab10 haplotypes, the two kinesin/knob systems cooperate to promote maximum meiotic drive. However, recent interpretations suggest that each kinesin/knob system can function as an independent meiotic driver and that in some cases they compete with each other. Ab10 is present at low frequencies throughout the genus Zea and has significantly expanded genome size by promoting the formation of knobs throughout the genome.
