East Asian Gene flow bridged by northern coastal populations over past 6000 years.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Coastal areas of northern East Asia in the ShanDong region, which show complex cultural transitions in the last 10,000 years, have helped to facilitate population interactions between more inland regions of mainland East Asia and islands such as those in the Japanese archipelago. To examine how ShanDong populations changed over time and interacted with island and inland East Asian populations, we sequenced 85 individuals from 11 ancient sites in the ShanDong region dating to ~6000-1500 BP. We found that ancestry related to ShanDong populations likely explains the mainland East Asian ancestry observed in post-Yayoi populations from the Japanese archipelago, particularly recent populations who lived in the Ryukyu Islands after ~2800 BP. In the ShanDong region, we observed gene flow from populations to the north and south of this region by at least ~7700 BP, and two waves of gene flow associated with the inland Yellow River populations into the ShanDong region during the DaWenKou cultural period (6000-4600 BP) and in the early dynastic period (3500-1500 BP). Reconstructing the genetic history of the Neolithic, Bronze, and Iron Age populations of coastal northern East Asia shows gene flow on both a north-south and an east-west (inland-coastal-island) scale.
