An empirical analysis of mtSSRs: could microsatellite distribution patterns explain the evolution of mitogenomes in plants?
Article in Functional & integrative genomics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
Microsatellites (SSRs) are tandem repeat sequences in eukaryote genomes, including plant cytoplasmic genomes. The mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) has been shown to vary in size, number, and distribution of SSRs among different plant groups. Thus, SSRs contribute with genomic diversity in mtDNAs. However, the abundance, distribution, and evolutionary significance of SSRs in mtDNA from a wide range of algae and plants have not been explored. In this study, the mtDNAs of 204 plant and algal species were investigated related to the presence of SSRs. The number of SSRs was positively correlated with genome size. Its distribution is dependent on plant and algal groups analyzed, although the cluster analysis indicates the conservation of some common motifs in algal and terrestrial plants that reflect common ancestry of groups. Many SSRs in coding and non-coding regions can be useful for molecular markers. Moreover, mitochondrial SSRs are highly abundant, representing an important source for natural or induced genetic variation, i.e., for biotechnological approaches that can modulate mtDNA gene regulation. Thus, this comparative study increases the understanding of the plant and algal SSR evolution and brings perspectives for further studies.
