Genetic genealogy of the Piast dynasty and related European royal families.
Article in Nature communications, 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
The Piasts were one of the royal dynasties that shaped the political structure of medieval Europe in the 10th century CE. Despite their importance, as the founders and rulers of the early Polish kingdom, little is known about Piast origin, the conditions of Poland's transformation into a medieval monarchy, and generally about the mechanisms of political entity formation in 10th-century East-Central Europe. Here we present an interdisciplinary investigation of Piast necropolises scattered throughout Poland. Within eight sites, we find 33 sets of skeletal remains likely to belong to the Piasts. Archaeogenomic analyses confirm the identities of ten as Piasts. Based on genomic data obtained for them, we determine the mitochondrial haplogroups of more than 200 historical figures from 10 European royal dynasties. The Y haplogroup lineage identified in the Piasts (R1b-BY3549) is currently rare. The same Y haplogroup lineage in databases of ancient DNA is found in three individuals who lived in North-Western Europe (present-day France, the Netherlands, and England). Together, these findings may suggest that the Piasts were of non-local origin and support the hypothesis that the state-building processes occurring in the 9
