The geographic distribution of human Y chromosome variation.
Article in Genetics, 1997. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 57 papers.
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
We examined variation on the nonrecombining portion of the human Y chromosome to investigate human evolution during the last 200,000 years. The Y-specific polymorphic sites included the Y Alu insertional polymorphism or "YAP" element (DYS287), the poly(A) tail associated with the YAP element, three point mutations in close association with the YAP insertion site, an A-G polymorphic transition (DYS271), and a tetranucleotide microsatellite (DYS19). Global variation at the five bi-allelic sites (DYS271, DYS287, and the three point mutations) gave rise to five "YAP haplotypes" in 60 populations from Africa, Europe, Asia, Australasia, and the New World (n = 1500). Combining the multi-allelic variation at the microsatellite loci (poly(A) tail and DYS19) with the YAP haplotypes resulted in a total of 27 "combination haplotypes". All five of the YAP haplotypes and 21 of the 27 combination haplotypes were found in African populations, which had greater haplotype diversity than did populations from other geographical locations. Only subsets of the five YAP haplotypes were found outside of Africa. Patterns of observed variation were compatible with a variety of hypotheses, including multiple human migrations and range expansions.
