Reconstructing the west-east genetic division in Indonesia using ancient genomes.
Article in iScience, 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
The deep-water Wallace's line marks a major biogeographic boundary separating western and eastern Indonesia, yet the origin of this genetic divide remains unresolved due to limited ancient genomic data from western Indonesia. In this study, we report two Late Neolithic genomic data from western Indonesia, integrated with 19 published ancient genomes from Island Southeast Asia (7,000 to 200 BP). Our analyses suggest a dual-phase formation of the west-east genetic structure: an Early Holocene west-east divergence, with western forager-related ancestry closer to Hòabìnhian-associated groups and eastern forager-related ancestry closer to Papuan-related groups; and later Neolithic and post-Neolithic demographic processes, including the Austronesian expansion, additional Mainland Southeast Asian gene flow into western Wallacea, and Papuan-associated back-migration into eastern Wallacea, reinforced and reshaped this earlier structure. We therefore propose a revised demographic model in which repeated Holocene migrations acted on pre-existing regional differences to generate the genetic landscape of present-day Indonesian populations.
