The impact of mosaic loss of the Y chromosome (mLOY) in men of advanced age.
Review in Biogerontology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 Y chromosome has long been considered to be a "genetic wasteland" harboring only few genes essentially involved in male sex development and spermatogenesis. However, the discovery of mosaic loss of the Y chromosome (mLOY) in older men has led to revisiting of the potential impact of the Y chromosome on health and the pathophysiological processes of multiple diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular disease. Hence, developing more sensitive techniques for the detection of mLOY has become an emergent concern. In this article, we present a comprehensive review of the literature regarding mLOY. Additionally, we discuss the emerging discoveries concerning mLOY as well as the underlying mechanisms promoting disease in men of advanced age.
