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

objectiveBetulaceae is a relatively small birch family that comprises about 160 deciduous trees and shrubs. Chloroplast (cp) genome sequencing of Alnus rubra and Betula cordifolia was carried out to elucidate their molecular features and phylogenetic relationship among species in Betulaceae family.

methodsChloroplast genome sequencing was carried out using next generation sequencing method. Molecular and genomic features of the two cp genomes were characterized with other cp genomes in Betulaceae. Also, molecular phylogenetic analysis was performed using the whole cp genome sequences.

resultsThe average cp genome length was 160,136 bp among the Betulaceae species. Base compositions of the cp genomes were skewed toward a high AT ratio, with an average of 63.4%. We identified 117 different genes 83 with protein coding, 4 with ribosomal RNA, and 30 with tRNA. Eighteen genes contained introns which were conserved among the cp genomes of all Betulaceae. We mined 82 SSRs from the cp genomes of A. rubra, A. cordifolia, and A. nana. The SSRs were variable in motif repeat numbers and presence/absence among the cp genomes.

conclusionChloroplast genome-wide sequence comparison from 11 Betulaceae species and one cp genome of evergreen oak revealed that the patterns of sequence variations were congruent with two subfamily classification Betuloideae (Alnus and Betula) and Corylaceae (Corylus, Ostrya, and Carpinus). Subsequent phylogenetic analysis also supports the sub-classifications of these species.
