Sex differences in crossover interference in house mice.
Article in G3 (Bethesda, Md.), 2026. 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
Meiotic recombination ensures the fidelity of chromosome segregation in most organisms with sexual reproduction. The distribution of crossovers along chromosomes is governed in part by interference, which prevents multiple crossovers from occurring in close proximity, though not all crossovers are subject to interference. Neither the factors that control the strength of interference, nor the extent to which they vary within and between species, are well understood. Here, I confirm that crossover interference is stronger in male than in female meiosis in house mice (Mus musculus), provide the first estimate of the proportion of non-interfering crossovers in female mice, and show that this proportion is lower than in males. Interference is stronger on shorter chromosomes in both sexes, but the frequency of non-interfering crossovers is similar across the range of chromosome size. Together with evidence that interference varies across strains and subspecies, my results provide a foundation for studying the evolution and sexual dimorphism in this important feature of meiosis in mice.
