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

Vertebrate mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) are valuable for studying phylogeny, evolutionary genetics and genomics. To date, however, compared to other vertebrate groups, our knowledge about the mitogenomes of skinks (the family Scincidae), even of reptile, has been relatively limited. In the present study, we determined the complete mitogenome of a blue-tailed skink Plestiodon capito for the first time, and compared it with other skinks available in GenBank. The circular genome is 17,344 bp long, showing a typical vertebrate pattern with 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes and one control region (CR). The gene organization, nucleotide composition, and codon usage are similar to those from skinks previously published. Twelve out of 13 PCGs initiates with canonical start codon (ATG), while COX1 starts with GTG. The codon usage analysis revealed a preferential use of the Leu
