Five new Caenorhabditis species from Indonesia provide exceptions to Haldane's rule and partial fertility of interspecific hybrids.
Article in G3 (Bethesda, Md.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Given the interest in the biogeography and diversity of the Caenorhabditis genus, we established a collection of these nematodes from field surveys on 4 Indonesian islands. We isolated over 60 Caenorhabditis strains belonging to 10 species. Five species were previously known from other locations: Caenorhabditis briggsae, which was predominant, Caenorhabditis tropicalis, Caenorhabditis nigoni, Caenorhabditis brenneri, and Caenorhabditis elegans. The 5 other species are new discoveries for science, and we describe them here as Caenorhabditis indonesiana, Caenorhabditis malinoi, Caenorhabditis ceno, Caenorhabditis brawijaya, and Caenorhabditis ubi. RNA sequence analysis of 1,861 orthologous genes placed all species from Indonesia in the Elegans group of Caenorhabditis species. Four of the new species belong to a Sinica subclade of species so far only found in an East Asia-Indo-Pacific world region. The fifth new species, C. indonesiana, appears as the sister of the C. tropicalis-Caenorhabditis wallacei pair, both also found in Indonesia. The present findings are thus consistent with diversification in the Elegans group having occurred in this world region. Crosses between closely related species showed counterexamples to Haldane's "rule": for several pairs of species, in one cross direction, we only found hybrid males. In addition, we found a pair of species that could partially interbreed: C. ubi (East Java) with C. sp. 41 (Solomon islands), with the hybrid males in one cross direction being fertile. Such closely related species pairs are good models for genetic studies of incompatibilities arising during speciation.
