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

Once considered rare in some species groups, we now appreciate that hybridization between distinct lineages is a feature of essentially all branches of the eukaryotic tree of life. Determining the drivers of hybridization across species and locally along genomes is not just a question of history; it is fundamental to understanding genomic variation, adaptation and even disease risk across diverse species. Here, we start by reviewing methodological advances that may improve our understanding of the frequency of hybridization and its evolutionary effects. Next, we compile results from traditional and genomic sources of evidence to estimate the incidence of hybridization in nature and discuss the causes and consequences of this key evolutionary process. Finally, we highlight open questions, including whether hybridization promotes diversification, and how such questions could be addressed in the future.
