Genetic Diversity Based on the Analysis of 27 Y- Short Tandem Repetition (STR) Loci in Two Populations in the Apuseni Mountains, Romania.

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
backgroundY chromosome analysis is used in various fields of forensic genetics, genetic genealogy, and evolutionary research, due to its unique characteristics. Short tandem repetitions (STR) are particularly relevant in population genetic studies. The aim of this study is to analyze the genetic profile of two populations in the Apuseni Mountains area, Băița and Roșia Montană, Romania.
methods27 STR loci of the Y chromosome were analyzed to investigate the genetic profile of two populations from the Apuseni Mountains area. Investigating genetic diversity by analyzing allele frequency, haplotype frequency, calculating forensic parameters, and presenting the main haplogroups identified based on Y-STR markers.
resultsGene diversity in the batch from Băița varies from 0.515 for the DYS393 locus to 0.947 for the DYS385 locus. In the Roșia Montană population, gene diversity ranges from 0.432 for DYS393 to 0.931 for DYS385. The haplotype diversity in Roșia Montană was 0.991, and the haplotype diversity was 1.000 in the population from Băița. A total of nine haplogroups was identified in the batch from Băița, while only seven haplogroups were observed in the batch from Roșia Montană. Both groups are based on the same five major haplogroups (E, G, I, J, and R) and the most common haplogroup is R1b in both populations.
conclusionIn this study, the genetic diversity of two distinct populations was assessed using genetic analyses based on different markers. Analysis of Y-STR profiles revealed significant genetic diversity in both studied groups. All haplogroups identified were similar to those present in other Romanian populations.
