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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsMany plant taxa in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) and the Hengduan Mountains (HM) radiated rapidly during the Quaternary but with frequent secondary contact between diverging populations. Incomplete lineage sorting and introgressive hybridization might be involved during the rapid radiation, but their effects on phylogeography have not been fully determined.

methodsWe investigated the chloroplast DNA (cpDNA)/internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence variations of 611 samples of Rhodiola bupleuroides, R. discolor, R. fastigiata and R. chrysanthemifolia from the QTP and HM to compare the phylogeographic patterns between the four species with different evolutionary histories, geographic ranges and reproductive modes. KEY

resultsThe divergence times of these species were consistent with the last peak of in situ speciation in the HM. While closely related species exhibited different phylogeographic patterns, they shared several ribotypes and haplotypes in sympatric populations, suggesting introgressive hybridization. A significant phylogenetic discordance between ribotypes and haplotypes was detected in three species, implying incomplete lineage sorting. Rhodiola discolor houses an extraordinary richness of cpDNA haplotypes, and this finding may be attributed to adaptive radiation.

conclusionIn addition to geographic isolation and climate oscillations during the Quaternary, both introgressive hybridization and incomplete lineage sorting play important roles in species that experienced rapid diversification in the QTP and HM.
