Silica and secondary metabolites as chemophenetic markers for characterization of bamboo species in relation to genetic and morphometric analysis.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Bamboo is a non-timber forest product and one of the most important grass plants of industrial and domestic use. It is widely distributed in tropical countries including India, China and Southeast Asian countries with wide genetic diversity. The diversity in the available genotypes becomes an important resource for the selection and improvement of the plants for ecological and commercial use. This study investigates eight commercially and ecologically important bamboo species of six genera (Bambusa, Dendrocalamus, Thyrsostachys, Vietnamosasa, Cephalostachyum and Indocalamus) from India, Thailand and Laos. These were evaluated for genetic differences by molecular makers, chemo-morphological variation and ability of silicon accumulation. The genetic cluster analyses of eight RAPD primers revealed genetic similarities in the ranges of 24-55%. The total silica content varied from 18.34 to 40.08 ppm in leaves of different bamboo species. Chemical analysis of the silicon content by ICP-OES and secondary metabolite profiling on TLC depicted the prominent distinction among the species. The PCA analysis of quantitative morphological data grouped the species in two major clusters and found to correlate with chemical pattern and genetic similarity to some extent. This is the first report that summarizes species-specific variability of leaf silica content, secondary metabolites, and quantitative morphological data towards delineation of genetic phylogeny of bamboo species.
