1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A search for the modern descendants of the Neolithic population has been conducted using two datasets of Y-chromosome polymorphisms: literature data on the ancient population of Northeast Eurasia and our own data on 256 whole genomes of 11 indigenous peoples of the Russian Far East (Aleuts, Chukchi, Evens, Evenks, Itelmens, Koryaks, Nanais, Negidals, Nivkhs, Orochi, and Ulchi). Y-SNP analysis revealed that both Kyordyughen I (4200 YBP) and Kyordyughen II (4600 YВР) samples of the Yakutian Late Neolithic belong to the haplogroup N-L708 and lie on its two branches that diverged at 6200 YBP. A quarter (67 of 256) of the analysed samples, including Chukchi, Evens, Evenks, Itelmens, Koryaks, Nanais, Nivkhs, Orochi, and Ulchi, belong to the haplogroup N-L708 and are, to various extents, genetically related to the Neolithic Yakutian individuals. The most direct descendants of the famous Kyordyughen warrior (Kyordyughen I) are the indigenous peoples of Kamchatka and Chukotka (Chukchi, Koryaks, Evens). The divergence time of their Y-lineages (4300 ± 1000 YВР) is consistent with the radiocarbon dates for Kyordyughen I. Literary data on Y-STR polymorphism suggest that descendants of the Kyordyughen warrior dispersed far across North Asia. Ancient N-L708 carriers started to expand from Transbaikalia across Northeast Eurasia at ~7000 YBP. About 4000-3000 YВР, the lineages close to the Kyordyughen samples arrived in today's Krasnoyarsk territory, Yakutia, Mongolia and Chukotka. Our findings are in good agreement with archaeological data and the autosomal genome-based modelling of the Kyordyughen warrior's origin.
