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

Atractylodes lancea, A. chinensis, and A. macrocephala are the three most widely used medicinal species of the Atractylodes genus. Their similar morphological features cause disagreement as whether they are three unique species, leading to their frequent misuses in medical products. Our study aimed to understand their relationships through both the complete plastome sequences and nuclear sequences, to identify molecular markers for their differentiation and explore the evolutionary relationships among three species. We sequenced, annotated, and analyzed the plastomes of these three species. The plastomes are 153,201, 153,258, and 153,265 bps in length for A. lancea, A. chinensis, and A. macrocephaly, respectively. Similar to other Asteraceae species, their plastomes exhibit typical quadripartite structures. Each plastome consists of 119 distinct genes, including 78 protein-coding, 37 tRNA, and 4 rRNA genes. Analyses of indels, single-nucleotide polymorphisms and simple sequence repeats, and comparison of plastomes showed high degree of conservation, leading to difficulty in the discovery of differentiating markers. We identified eleven potential molecular markers using an algorithm based on interspecific and intraspecific nucleotide diversity gaps. Validation experiments with fifty-five individuals from the three species collected from the botanical garden and fields confirmed that the marker cz11 could effectively distinguish samples from the three different species. Analysis of the several nuclear sequences suggests that the species of A. macrocephala may be a hybrid of A. lancea and A. chinensis. In summary, the results from this study highlight the complex relationships among of these three medicinal plants.
