Sex Chromosome Evolution: Hallmarks and Question Marks.
Review in Molecular biology and evolution, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Sex chromosomes are widespread in species with separate sexes. They have evolved many times independently and display a truly remarkable diversity. New sequencing technologies and methodological developments have allowed the field of molecular evolution to explore this diversity in a large number of model and nonmodel organisms, broadening our vision on the mechanisms involved in their evolution. Diverse studies have allowed us to better capture the common evolutionary routes that shape sex chromosomes; however, we still mostly fail to explain why sex chromosomes are so diverse. We review over half a century of theoretical and empirical work on sex chromosome evolution and highlight pending questions on their origins, turnovers, rearrangements, degeneration, dosage compensation, gene content, and rates of evolution. We also report recent theoretical progress on our understanding of the ultimate reasons for sex chromosomes' existence.
