Opinion: Why Sex-Based Genomic Differentiation Should Not Be Overlooked in Population Genetics.
Article in Molecular ecology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Sex-specific genomic differentiation is a crucial yet frequently overlooked factor in population genetics. In this opinion piece, we leverage the substantial genomic resources available for the great tit (Parus major), including population-scale data sets from many European populations, to investigate genomic differentiation between males and females. Unlike in some other species, where high-quality genome assemblies exist but broad population sampling is lacking, the great tit offers a unique opportunity to study sex-based differentiation at both the genomic and population level. We identify significant differentiation at an autosomal locus on chromosome 5, which we hypothesise originates from sex-linked variation present on the sex chromosomes (Z and potentially W). By referencing genomic data from other songbirds with well-assembled sex chromosomes, we illustrate how autosomal loci may exhibit high sequence similarity to sex-linked regions. Our analyses demonstrate that uneven sex ratios in sampled populations can substantially bias differentiation metrics (e.g., F
