The complete chloroplast genome of colchicine plants (Colchicum autumnale L. and Gloriosa superba L.) and its application for identifying the genus.

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
MAIN
conclusionThe complete chloroplast genome of two colchicine medicinal plants is reported for the first time. Deletion of ycf 15 gene occurred only in Colchicum but not in Gloriosa and suggests this as a potential marker for delineating the two species. Colchicum autumnale L. and Gloriosa superba L. are well-known sources of colchicine, a type of alkaloid and an ancient anti-inflammatory drug used to prevent gout. Accordingly, this alkaloid has been used as a chemical marker for identifying the expanded Colchicaceae family. In the present study, we report the complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of two colchicine medicinal plants (G. superba and C. autumnale) that belong to the tribe Colchiceae of the Colchicaceae family. In C. autumnale, the circular double-stranded cpDNA sequence of 156,462 bp consists of two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 27,741 bp each, a large single-copy region (LSC) of 84,246 bp, and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 16,734 bp. The cpDNA sequence of G. superba is longer than that of C. autumnale (157,924 bp), which consists of two IRs (28,063 bp), an SSC (16,786 bp), and an LSC (85,012 bp). Significant structural differences between them were observed in the ycf15 gene. ycf15 gene was absent from C. autumnale cpDNA and affected the length of the chloroplast genome between the species. Furthermore, this gene loss event was specific to the expanded genus of Colchicum sensu Vinnersten and Manning. Therefore, this gene may be an effective and powerful molecular marker for identifying the Colchicum genus within the family.
