Selection scans and downstream analysis with selscan.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
statistics based on Extended Haplotype Homozygosity (EHH) are widely used for inferring positive selection in genomes as a result of their ease of use, computational efficiency, and interpretability. These various summary statistics can be applied to single populations or to pairs of populations, can be used with a genetic recombination map or without, and can be applied to phased or unphased data. Although they are straightforward to compute, there lacks clear descriptions on how they relate to one another, how they should be used, and how their results should be interpreted. Here, we provide a comprehensive introduction to selection statistics as they are implemented in the widely used software, selscan. We demonstrate the behavior of such statistics on simulated data and highlight best practices by performing an example downstream analysis on data from the 1000 Genomes Project using new features in selscan v3.0. We hope these guidelines will foster reproducibility in the evolutionary genomics community. Precompiled executables and source code for selscan v3.0 can be found at https://github.com/szpiech/selscan.
