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

Molecular evolutionary analysis of the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GapC) gene family was conducted in the plant genus Amsinckia (Boraginaceae), a group that exhibits marked variation in the mating system. GapC genes in this group differ from those of Arabidopsis thaliana in terms of both intron size and number. Phylogenetic and Southern hybridization analyses suggest the presence of multiple GapC loci, each defined by a set of base substitutions that are in strong linkage disequilibrium. One species of Amsinckia, A. spectabilis, was studied in some detail. This species consists of selfing (A. s. spectabilis) and outcrossing (A. s. microcarpa) varieties. Two selfing populations and one outcrossing population sample were analyzed in detail for variation at one of the members of this gene family. GapC3. A reduction in number of GapC3 haplotypes and level of genetic diversity was observed in the selfing populations of A. spectabilis. GapC3 in the outcrossing population (but not the two selfing populations) exhibited a significant departure from neutrality in the direction of an excess of singletons. These results are discussed in the context of forces acting on sequence evolution in populations with different mating systems.
