1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Previous models have attempted to explain the origin of new self-incompatibilities, whereas the model presented here explains the origin of new nonself-incompatibilities. Natural selection favors mutational changes to S-RNases that create nonself-incompatibilities with self-compatible (SC) haplotypes. By this means, an self-incompatible (SI) haplotype with a new S-RNase can avoid the costs of inbreeding imposed by an SC haplotype. The generation of new nonself-incompatibilities is countered by selection on SLF repertoires to increase the proportion of maternal haplotypes with which a paternal haplotype is compatible. The model predicts an evolutionary dynamic in which selection on SLF repertoires favors new compatibilities (including self-compatibility), but 'mutational adjustment' of S-RNases to the presence of SC haplotypes generates new nonself-incompatibilities. The relative frequencies of SI and SC haplotypes will be determined by the fluctuating balance, on the time-scale of new mutations, between these countervailing forces.
