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

•Chen et al. found ancient WGDs cluster around major environmental disruptions from Cretaceous to Neogene.•Polyploids are disadvantaged in stable conditions but gain advantages during severe crises.•WGD establishment follows two regimes: background diversity-dependent rates and episodic pulses from crises.•Chen et al. suggest Anthropocene climate change and habitat disruption may foster new polyploids with long-term potential.
