Solones, Solo Reproduction and Vice.
Article in Asian bioethics review, 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
In vitro gametogenesis (IVG) is a technology that allows the creation of gametes from stem cells. Given that IVG makes possible the production of cross-sex gametes, IVG, if successful, can, among other uses, allow a single person to solo reproduce (i.e. have children without a sperm or egg donor). This would involve using IVG to produce one cross-sex gamete and fusing that gamete with a same-sex gamete which is either artificially or naturally derived from the same person. Because solo reproduction is a highly experimental, artificial and asexual method of reproduction, it might be comparable in many ways with reproductive cloning. One of the arguments that has been made against cloning and, by extension, solo reproduction is that it expresses and encourages vices like hubris and narcissism. In this paper, we argue that the vice argument is insufficient to justify a ban on solo reproduction. This is because the mere fact that an act is vicious does not give anyone any kind of enforceable claim on us to not act viciously.
