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

backgroundMicrosatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) have become the most significant DNA marker technology used in genetic research. The availability of complete draft genomes for a number of Palmae species has made it possible to perform genome-wide analysis of SSRs in these species. Palm trees are tropical and subtropical plants with agricultural and economic importance due to the nutritional value of their fruit cultivars.

objectiveThis is the first comprehensive study examining and comparing microsatellites in completely-sequenced draft genomes of Palmae species.

methodsWe identified and compared perfect SSRs with 1-6 bp nucleotide motifs to characterize microsatellites in Palmae species using PERF v0.2.5. We analyzed their relative abundance, relative density, and GC content in five palm species: Phoenix dactylifera, Cocos nucifera, Calamus simplicifolius, Elaeis oleifera, and Elaeis guineensis.

resultsA total of 118241, 328189, 450753, 176608, and 70694 SSRs were identified, respectively. The six repeat types were not evenly distributed across the five genomes. Mono- and dinucleotide SSRs were the most abundant, and GC content was highest in tri- and hexanucleotide SSRs.

conclusionWe envisage that this analysis would further substantiate more in-depth computational, biochemical, and molecular studies on the roles SSRs may play in the genome organization of the palm species. The current study contributes a detailed characterization of simple sequence repeats in palm genomes.
