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

backgroundMost Distylium species are endangered. Distylium species mostly display homoplasy in their flowers and fruits, and are classified primarily based on leaf morphology. However, leaf size, shape, and serration vary tremendously making it difficult to use those characters to identify most species and a significant challenge to address the taxonomy of Distylium. To infer robust relationships and develop variable markers to identify Distylium species, we sequenced most of the Distylium species chloroplast genomes.

resultsThe Distylium chloroplast genome size was 159,041-159,127 bp and encoded 80 protein-coding, 30 transfer RNAs, and 4 ribosomal RNA genes. There was a conserved gene order and a typical quadripartite structure. Phylogenomic analysis based on whole chloroplast genome sequences yielded a highly resolved phylogenetic tree and formed a monophyletic group containing four Distylium clades. A dating analysis suggested that Distylium originated in the Oligocene (34.39 Ma) and diversified within approximately 1 Ma. The evidence shows that Distylium is a rapidly radiating group. Four highly variable markers, matK-trnK, ndhC-trnV, ycf1, and trnT-trnL, and 74 polymorphic simple sequence repeats were discovered in the Distylium plastomes.

conclusionsThe plastome sequences had sufficient polymorphic information to resolve phylogenetic relationships and identify Distylium species accurately.
