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

Y-short tandem repeats (STRs) and Y-single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the Y chromosome are genetic markers unique to men. They are widely used in identification, forensic medicine and paternal lineage tracing. Because of their strict paternal genetic characteristics, they have become a powerful means to trace the evolution of paternal lineages and populations. In this study, 38 Y-STR loci and 250 Y-SNP loci were genotyped, and a dataset was constructed for Qingpu Han (n = 396), Songjiang Han (n = 386), Jinshan Han (n = 384), and Fengxian Han (n = 372) populations in Shanghai. The Yfiler platinum genotyping system yielded the highest haplotype diversity (HD): Qingpu (0.99995), Songjiang (0.99996), Jinshan (0.99988) and Fengxian (0.99993); additionally, unique haplotypes accounted for 97.31%, 96.09%, 97.98%, and 98.45%, respectively. Y-STR variants, including null alleles, intermediate alleles and multi-allelic patterns, were also included. Moreover, Permutational Multivariate Analysis of Variance (PERMANOVA) and Principal Co-ordinates Analysis (PCoA)/classical multidimensional scale analysis (classical MDS) maps based on 17 Y-STRs revealed the unique genetic structure of each population. A joint analysis of Y-SNPs and Y-STRs clarified the evolutionary path of populations in the four districts. The results of haplotype network analysis showed that the Zhejiang Han population had more paternal genetic contributions to the formation of the Han populations in Shanghai's Qingpu, Songjiang, Jinshan, and Fengxian districts. In this study, through a joint analysis of Y-STRs and Y-SNPs, the paternal genetic structure of Han populations in four districts of Shanghai were explored in depth. The paternal origin of O1a in four districts of Shanghai may stem from population dispersal from the Zhejiang region. Applying Y-SNP haplogroups to forensic analyses can provide clues for familial investigations.
