We must not ignore eugenics in our genetics curriculum.
Article in Trends in genetics : TIG, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Eugenics, that promoted planned breeding to ensure 'racial improvement', was central to the development of genetics and led to horrifying policies. However, eugenics is not dead and continues to influence science and policy today. Thus, we should include eugenics in our undergraduate classes to remind students that scientists must speak out when others lie about science and use it to further their political views.
