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

Sex-biased gene expression is a fundamental driver of sexual dimorphism and plays an important role in evolutionary divergence across species. Here, we conducted a comparative evolutionary analysis of sex-biased genes (SBGs) in 13 insect species spanning four major orders: Hemiptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, and Coleoptera. In total, 42,488 SBGs were identified, with low interspecific conservation-86.5% of orthogroups were shared by six or fewer species. Phylogenetic analyses showed that SBGs generally follow evolutionary trajectories similar to other protein-coding genes but show branch length differences suggestive of accelerated evolution in
