Population structure and genome-wide adaptive differentiation of wild Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) across river basins in China.
Article in BMC genomics, 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
Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir Sinensis) is a commercially important species in Chinese aquaculture, yet the genetic structure of wild populations remains poorly understood. A total of 240 wild E. sinensis samples were collected from Liaohe (LH), Yalujiang (YLJ), Huanghe (HH), Yangtze (including Anqing section (YZA), Taixing section (YZT)), Oujiang (OJ), Minjiang (MJ), and Beilunhe (BLH) River basins to investigate the genetic structure of native populations. Through genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) and stringent quality filtering, a total of 3,120,408 high-quality single- nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci were identified. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the BLH and MJ populations formed distinct clusters, whereas OJ, YZA, YZT, HH, LH, and YLJ populations were loosely clustered. Phylogenetic tree and population genetic structure analyses revealed that the BLH River population in southern China was the only significantly differentiated group within the native range of the Chinese mitten crab, while northern populations (HH, LH, and YLJ) exhibited stronger admixture, indicating higher levels of gene flow. Additionally, gene flow occurred more frequently among geographically proximate populations, while weaker gene flow persisted between geographically distant groups. Further selective sweep analyses comparing representative southern and northern populations (BLH and LH) identified key genes under strong geographic selection, primarily involved in transcriptional regulation, metabolism and transport, stress response and damage repair, and signal transduction. Overall, this study provides comprehensive insights into the genetic resources of wild E. sinensis across Chinese river basins, laying a foundation for conservation and germplasm resource development.
