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

As climate change triggers unprecedented ecological shifts, it becomes imperative to understand the genetic underpinnings of species' adaptability. Adaptive introgression significantly contributes to organismal adaptation to new environments by introducing genetic variation across species boundaries. However, despite growing recognition of its importance, the extent to which adaptive introgression has shaped the evolutionary history of closely related species remains poorly understood. Here we employed population genetic analyses of high-throughput sequencing data to investigate the interplay between genetic introgression and local adaptation in three species of spruce trees in the genus
