Key meiotic abnormalities impair pollen viability in aneuploid Brassica napus.
Article in Heredity, 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
Aneuploidy, frequently observed in plants, is an evolutionary intermediate that plays a key role in speciation and phenotypic diversification. However, the effect of meiosis on pollen viability in aneuploids remains elusive. Herein, we studied chromosome inheritance patterns of aneuploids with complex karyotypes by investigating the pairing and segregation behavior of each chromosome at diakinesis and anaphase I during meiosis in Brassica napus. In aneuploids, we observed distinct chromosome behaviors: (1) tetrasomic chromosomes primarily formed quadrivalents or two independent bivalents and showed equal segregation; (2) trisomic chromosomes exhibited mixed trivalent/bivalent-univalent pairing with exclusively 1:2 segregation; (3) disomic chromosomes displayed basically normal chromosome pairing and equal segregation; (4) monosomic chromosomes remained predominantly as a univalent and showed random segregation. Primary meiotic pairing abnormalities, including nonhomologous associations of homoeologs and 45S rDNA loci at diakinesis, were identified. Homologous nondisjunction was the most prevalent abnormality during meiotic anaphase I, and pollen viability and chromosomal aberrations were negatively correlated at this stage. Aneuploids of B. napus complete meiosis successfully, generating viable aneuploid male gametes. Our study provides fundamental insights into chromosome inheritance in aneuploids and can shed light on the cytogenetic basis of partial pollen viability in plant aneuploids.
