Positive selection and recombination shaped the large genetic differentiation of Beet black scorch virus population.
Article in PloS one, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Beet black scorch virus (BBSV) is a species in the Betanecrovirus genus, in family Tombusviridae. BBSV infection is of considerable importance, causing economic losses to sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) field crops worldwide. Phylogenetic analyses using 3'UTR sequences divided most BBSV isolates into two main groups. Group I is composed of Iranian isolates from all Iranian provinces that have been sampled. Chinese, European, one North American and some other Iranian isolates from North-Western Iran are in Group II. The division of Iranian BBSV isolates into two groups suggests numerous independent infection events have occurred in Iran, possibly from isolated sources from unknown host(s) linked through the viral vector Olpidium. The between-group diversity was higher than the within-group diversity, indicating the role of a founder effect in the diversification of BBSV isolates. The high FST among BBSV populations differentiates BBSV groups. We found no indication of frequent gene flow between populations in Mid-Eurasia, East-Asia and Europe countries. Recombination analysis indicated an intra-recombination event in the Chinese Xinjiang/m81 isolate and an inter-recombination breakpoint in the viral 3'UTR of Iranian isolates in subgroup IranA in Group I. The ω ratios (dNS/dS) were used for detecting positive selection at individual codon sites. Amino acid sequences were conserved with ω from 0.040 to 0.229 in various proteins. In addition, a small fraction of amino acids in proteins RT-ORF1 (p82), ORF4 (p7b) and ORF6 (p24) are positively selected with ω > 1. This analysis could increase the understanding of protein structure and function and Betanecrovirus epidemiology. The recombination analysis shows that genomic exchanges are associated with the emergence of new BBSV strains. Such recombinational exchange analysis may provide new information about the evolution of Betanecrovirus diversity.
