Phylogenetic informativeness analyses to clarify past diversification processes in Cucurbitaceae.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Phylogenomic studies have so far mostly relied on genome skimming or target sequence capture, which suffer from representation bias and can fail to resolve relationships even with hundreds of loci. Here, we explored the potential of phylogenetic informativeness and tree confidence analyses to interpret phylogenomic datasets. We studied Cucurbitaceae because their small genome size allows cost-efficient genome skimming, and many relationships in the family remain controversial, preventing inferences on the evolution of characters such as sexual system or floral morphology. Genome skimming and PCR allowed us to retrieve the plastome, 57 single copy nuclear genes, and the nuclear ribosomal ITS from 29 species representing all but one tribe of Cucurbitaceae. Node support analyses revealed few inter-locus conflicts but a pervasive lack of phylogenetic signal among plastid loci, suggesting a fast divergence of Cucurbitaceae tribes. Data filtering based on phylogenetic informativeness and risk of homoplasy clarified tribe-level relationships, which support two independent evolutions of fringed petals in the family. Our study illustrates how formal analysis of phylogenomic data can increase our understanding of past diversification processes. Our data and results will facilitate the design of well-sampled phylogenomic studies in Cucurbitaceae and related families.
