Origin of Polyploidy: Results of Laboratory Crosses Between Green Toad (
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 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
Unreduced gametes contribute to the emergence of polyploid plant and animal species. Interspecific diploid and polyploid hybrids can utilize clonal or hemiclonal reproduction methods, in which one or all parental genomes are transmitted to offspring without recombination. To elucidate mechanisms supporting the coexistence of parental species and polyploid hybrids, we conducted artificial crossing experiments between two diploid species of green toads. We determined the ploidy levels of all hybrids resulting from the crosses. The offspring included di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, and hexaploid individuals. In the first generation, all hybrids were generally diploid. In the second generation, many polyploid individuals appeared in the offspring. Hybrids (even in a single cross) produced tadpoles with different ploidy levels due to gametes with different genomic compositions. Males of triploid hybrids produced predominantly haploid gametes, while females produced diploid ones. We propose a model for the origin of polyploid species in the genus
