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

Understanding the origin and fate of sex chromosomes has been one of the most intriguing questions in biology. In therian (marsupial and eutherian) mammals, most species are characterized by a heteromorphic XX female XY male sex chromosome system. It is commonly accepted that they originated from a pair of autosomes after gaining a sex-determining function, leading to recombination suppression and subsequent Y chromosome degeneration. Unlike eutherian sex chromosomes which share a pseudo-autosomal region (PAR), the marsupial sex chromosomes are typically tiny and lack any homology. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence on biological systems that represent early stages of sex chromosome differentiation. Here, we describe the meiotic dynamics of an XY
