1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

In this issue of Molecular Ecology, Mora-Carrera et al. (2022) revisit a case of the loss of an outcrossing system in primroses, which has been studied as an example of balancing selection in the wild since the 1940s. Molecular variants in the gene involved in the mutant self-fertile phenotype, which is now known, help towards understanding this textbook example of breakdown of an outcrossing system. However, as often happens, new information also raises further questions.
