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

Hybridisation is commonly observed in geographical zones of contact between distinct lineages. These contact zones have long been of interest for biogeographers because they provide insight into the evolutionary and ecological processes that influence the distribution of species as well as the process of speciation. Here we review research on hybrid zones and zones of past introgression, both terrestrial and marine, in Aotearoa New Zealand. Many of New Zealand's hybrid zones occur between lineages or species that diverged prior to the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), with numerous divergences dating to the early Pleistocene or Pliocene. Few secondary contact zones have been detected in terrestrial plants and in marine taxa. This may reflect a lack of the intensive sampling required to detect hybrid zones in these groups but for plants may also indicate widespread Pleistocene survival across the country. Lastly, we suggest avenues for research into New Zealand hybrid zones that are likely to be fruitful.
