Mixtum: a graphical tool for two-way admixture analysis in population genetics based on f-statistics.
Article in Bioinformatics (Oxford, England), 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
summaryMixtum is a Python-based code that estimates ancestry contributions in a process of two-way admixture based on bi-allelic genotype data. The outcomes of Mixtum come from the geometric interpretation of the f-statistics formalism. Designed with user-friendliness as a priority, Mixtum allows to interactively handle a menu of user-supplied populations to build different mixture models in conjunction with the set of auxiliary populations required by the framework. The results are presented graphically and numerically. Importantly, Mixtum provides a novel index (an angle) that assesses the quality of the ancestral reconstruction of the model under scrutiny. The use and interpretation of the outcomes of Mixtum are explained and illustrated with case studies. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The open source code is available on GitHub at https://github.com/jmcastelo/mixtum and on Zenodo at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17789375. Mixtum is implemented in Python and runs on Linux, Windows and macOS.
