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

Hybridization and polyploidy are powerful evolutionary forces, inducing a range of phenotypic outcomes, including non-additive expression, subgenome dominance, deviations in genomic dosage, and transcriptome downsizing. The reasons for these patterns and whether they are universal adaptive responses to genome merging and doubling remain debated. To address this, we develop a thermodynamic model of gene expression based on transcription factor (TF)-promoter binding. Applied to hybridization between species with divergent gene expression levels, cell volumes, or euchromatic ratios, this model distinguishes the effects of hybridization from those of polyploidy. Our results align with empirical observations, suggesting that gene regulation patterns in hybrids and polyploids often stem from the constrained interplay between inherited diverged regulatory networks rather than from subsequent adaptive evolution. In addition, occurrence of certain phenotypic traits depend on specific assumptions about promoter-TF coevolution and their distribution within the hybrid's nucleoplasm, offering new research avenues to understand the underlying mechanisms. In summary, our model explains how the legacy of divergent species directly influences the phenotypic traits of hybrids and allopolyploids.
