The Genetic Structure of the Romanian Male Population Revealed by 27 Y-Chromosome STR Loci.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 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
Y-chromosomal Short Tandem Repeats (Y-STRs) provide insight into forensic evidence interpretation and male population history. Romania's position at the crossroads of Europe and Western Asia makes it a key reference population for both domains, yet existing Romanian Y-STR databases are limited in geographic coverage and marker number. We genotyped 928 unrelated Romanian males across all 41 counties and Bucharest at 27 Y-STR loci using the Investigator Argus Y-28 Kit, and modeled haplotype frequencies using the Discrete Laplace (DL) distribution (disclapmix v1.7.5, 17-locus panel; disclapmix2 v0.6.1, 27-locus panel). Discrete Laplace modeling revealed 12 and 14 optimal mixture components for the 17- and 27-locus models, respectively, with median match probabilities of 1 in 1.25 × 10
