Perivitelline Membrane-Bound Sperm as a Source of Paternal Genomic DNA to Inform Breeding Male Marine Turtle Genetics and Demographics.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 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
Sex in marine turtles is determined by incubation conditions, raising concerns of population feminization and loss of genetic diversity due to warming temperatures. Demographic data on breeding males are limited due to their relative inaccessibility. Hatchling sampling can inform multiple paternity (MP) and breeding sex ratios (BSR) but is logistically intensive, limiting the number of nests and populations analyzed. Here, we present a novel approach to characterize successfully breeding males by genotyping sperm trapped in the perivitelline membrane (PVM) surrounding the yolk of a single egg per clutch. We compared maternal genotypes via eggshells with PVM extract genotypes from 27 loggerhead turtle (
