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

backgroundMegalobrama is economically one of the most important freshwater fish genera in China. However, phylogenetic relationships among M. amblycephala, M. skolkovii, M. hoffmanni and M. pellegrini remain unresolved.

objectiveTo explore the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationship of Megalobrama populations belonging to all four species.

methodsThe concatenated sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome b (Cytb) and control region (CR) were used to analyze the genetic variation, genetic differentiation and population expansion of 15 Megalobrama populations.

resultsThe study showed that haplotype diversity and nucleotide diversity of M. hoffmanni and M. skolkovii were high, and that M. hoffmanni was the most genetically divergent of the four species. Haplotype network analysis revealed that M. hoffmanni and M. amblycephala formed a monophyletic group each, while M. skolkovii and M. pellegrini clustered together. There was a high genetic differentiation among the four Megalobrama species, and genetic distance among populations was not affected by geographical distance. Additionally, the results indicated that there was gene flow between the Liangzi Lake (LZL) population and Jinsha River Reservoir (JS) population. Also, Zhaoqing (ZQ) population of M. hoffmanni might have experienced a population expansion.

conclusionOur study verifies genetic diversity and differentiation of Megalobrama populations, and these findings will represent a significant contribution to the conservation and utilization of germplasm resources of Megalobrama.
