Reconstructing the genetic ancestry of the archaeological site in Amiternum: From Roman Imperial to early medieval times in Central Italy.
Article in iScience, 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
Central-southern Italy is pivotal for reconstructing the population history of the peninsula, yet the genetic impact of the complex demographic past in the Abruzzo region remains largely unexplored. This study integrates archaeological context with ancient DNA analysis of 16 individuals excavated at the Cathedral of Santa Maria in Civitate in Amiternum. The sample comprises one adult male from the Roman Imperial period and 15 subadults mainly from the early medieval period. Genome-wide data reveal a sharp genetic discontinuity between the two epochs. The Roman individual mirrors other Italians from the same period, characterized by significant Near Eastern ancestry. In contrast, the early medieval group-genetically homogeneous-clusters with late antique and medieval populations from Central and Southern Italy, showing significant genetic influence from Central and Northern Europe. Overall, the medieval genetic structure differs from the Roman one and closely resembles that of modern Central and Southern Italians.
