X-linked competition - implications for human development and disease.
Review in Nature reviews. Genetics, 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
During early mammalian female development, X chromosome inactivation leads to random transcriptional silencing of one of the two X chromosomes. This inactivation is maintained through subsequent cell divisions, leading to intra-individual diversity, whereby cells express either the maternal or paternal X chromosome. Differences in X chromosome sequence content can trigger competitive interactions between clones that may alter organismal development and skew the representation of X-linked sequence variants in a cell-type-specific manner - a recently described phenomenon termed X-linked competition in analogy to existing cell competition paradigms. Skewed representation can define the phenotypic impact of X-linked variants, for example, the manifestation of disease in female carriers of X-linked disease alleles. Here, we review what is currently known about X-linked competition, reflect on what remains to be learnt and map out the implications for X-linked human disease.
