Ancestry informative markers in indigenous populations from Brazil.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
Brazil has more than one million Indigenous people, with the highest populations concentrated in the North and Center-West regions. These regions have significant Indigenous populations, so this provides essential insights into their genetic heritage. This study aimed to investigate the genomic ancestry of Indigenous groups in these areas by ten Ancestry Informative Markers (AIMs) described with frequency differential > 30% between parental populations. By analyzing these markers, we determined the ancestral genetic profile for European (EUR), African (AFR), and Amerindian (AME) ancestry within indigenous (IND) from the North (Tiriyó and Waiampi) and Center-West (Jaguapiru and Bororó) of Brazil. Peripheral blood samples were collected from three hundred and two indigenous people, and genomic DNA was extracted to identify AIMs through PCR. The genomic ancestry results showed that Tiriyó was AME: 74.1, EUR: 14.7, AFR: 11.2; Waiampi, AME: 49.3, EUR: 35.7, AFR: 15.0; Jaguapiru and Bororó AME: 47.1, EUR: 42.8, AFR: 10.2. These findings indicate that indigenous populations have preserved mainly their Amerindian ancestral contributions, despite varying levels of European and African admixture. While the AIMs effectively distinguished between AFR and IND ancestries, they were less precise in differentiating between EUR and IND. Understanding the genetic profile of indigenous Brazilians is essential to identifying genetic predispositions and specific health risks, allowing for personalized interventions and more inclusive public health policies.
