Identification and molecular analysis of the Y-specific CpMp gene controlling long male peduncles in papaya.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Papaya is a fruit crop possessing XY sex chromosomes. The development of long male peduncles (Mp) is pivotal for the transition from gynodioecy to dioecy. The gene controlling peduncle length, CpMp, is one of the four genes driving the evolution of stage 3 sex chromosomes in papaya. Here, we identify a Y-specific SVP paralog, CpSVP-Yp, which is validated as CpMp through comparative genomics and complementation tests. CpMp promotes peduncle elongation by activating CpYUC6, increasing auxin levels, which in turn enhance GA levels and stimulate CpGASA6, driving cell division and elongation. Overexpression of CpGASA6 confirms its role and reveals a feedback loop suppressing IAA biosynthesis. We also identify two upstream regulators: CpTRAB1, a GA-repressed activator, and CpGATA8, a CpMp-induced repressor, forming dual feedback circuits. We show that male trees produce 400× more pollen than hermaphrodites, conferring a fitness advantage. Together with two sex determination genes, CpMp is essential for dioecy and sex chromosome evolution in papaya.
