Whole genome sequence analysis supports the genomic mosaicism of the endangered Hawaiian duck (Anas wyvilliana).

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
Hybridization and gene flow are now recognized as pervasive evolutionary processes, leading to research foci attempting to understand proximate evolutionary outcomes from such events. Here, we compare the full genomes of a putative recent homoploid hybrid species, the Hawaiian duck, to its parental species, the Hawaiian Islands endemic Laysan duck and the Holarctic mallard. We find that the Hawaiian duck's genome is a mosaic of genetic ancestry of the two parental taxa, with a greater contribution from Laysan duck, but also identify genomic regions harboring Hawaiian duck-derived alleles. Overall, our results support a hybrid origin for the Hawaiian duck and describe potential genomic regions that may have been evolutionarily beneficial for the rise and persistence of this young hybrid species on the main Hawaiian Islands. Finally, our study provides the first reference genomes for the endangered Hawaiian and Laysan ducks, valuable tools for future conservation efforts.
