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

Sexual dysmorphism in the number and distribution of meiotic crossovers is seen across species but is poorly understood. Here, we disrupt multiple anti-crossover pathways in hermaphrodite Arabidopsis and analyze thousands of female and male progeny genomes. The greatest crossover increase is seen in zyp1 recq4 mutants, with a 12-fold rise in females and 4.5-fold in males. Additional manipulation of crossover regulators does not further increase crossovers but shifts the balance between crossover pathways, suggesting competition for a shared, limited precursor pool. While wild-type crossover patterns differ between sexes, mutant crossover landscapes converge on a unique distinct profile, which we term Crossover Potential (CO
