Hiding in plain sight: the Y chromosome and its reinvigorated role in evolutionary processes.
Article in Evolution letters, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Recent methodological approaches have expanded our understanding of Y chromosome sequence, revealed unexpected Y diversity, and sparked a growing realization of its importance in evolutionary processes. To fully understand the diversity and importance of the Y chromosome, we suggest the need to move from a holotype Y chromosome sequence, based on a single individual and meant to represent the species, to a thorough understanding of Y chromosome haplotype diversity, its phenotypic implications, and its phylogeographic distribution. Additionally, the Y chromosome may play an important role in two key rules of speciation that have otherwise been attributed to the X, namely Haldane's Rule and the Large-X Effect. Emerging genomic tools and analytical approaches are just now giving us the means to ask how important this small, often forgotten region of the genome is in evolutionary processes.
