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

Siraitia grosvenorii fruit, known as Luo-Han-Guo, has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine for many years, and mogrosides are its primary active ingredients. Unfortunately, Siraitia siamensis, its wild relative, might be misused due to its indistinguishable appearance, not only threatening the reliability of the medication but also partly exacerbating wild resource scarcity. Therefore, high-resolution genetic markers must be developed to discriminate between these species. Here, the complete chloroplast genomes of S. grosvenorii and S. siamensis were assembled and analyzed for the first time; they were 158,757 and 159,190 bp in length, respectively, and possessed conserved quadripartite circular structures. Both contained 134 annotated genes, including 8 rRNA, 37 tRNA and 89 protein-coding genes. Twenty divergences (Pi > 0.03) were found in the intergenic regions. Nine protein-coding genes, accD, atpA, atpE, atpF, clpP, ndhF, psbH, rbcL, and rpoC2, underwent selection within Cucurbitaceae. Phylogenetic relationship analysis indicated that these two species originated from the same ancestor. Finally, four pairs of molecular markers were developed to distinguish the two species. The results of this study will be beneficial for taxonomic research, identification and conservation of Siraitia Merrill wild resources in the future.
