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

The genus Ocotea (Lauraceae) includes about 450 species, of which about 90% are Neotropical, while the rest is from Macaronesia, Africa and Madagascar. In this study we present the first complete chloroplast genome sequences of seven Ocotea species, six Neotropical and one from Macaronesia. Genome sizes range from 152,630 (O. porosa) to 152,685 bp (O. aciphylla). All seven plastomes contain a total of 131 (114 unique) genes, among which 87 (80 unique) encode proteins. The order of genes (if present) is the same in all Lauraceae examined so far. Two hypervariable loci were found in the LSC region (psbA-trnH, ycf2), three in the SSC region (ycf1, ndhH, trnL(UAG)-ndhF). The pairwise cp genomic alignment between the taxa showed that the LSC and SSC regions are more variable compared to the IR regions. The protein coding regions comprise 25,503-25,520 codons in the Ocotea plastomes examined. The most frequent amino acids encoded in the plastomes were leucine, isoleucine, and serine. SSRs were found to be more frequent in the two dioecious Neotropical Ocotea species than in the four bisexual species and the gynodioecious species examined (87 vs. 75-84 SSRs). A preliminary phylogenetic analysis based on 69 complete plastomes of Lauraceae species shows the seven Ocotea species as sister group to Cinnamomum sensu lato. Sequence divergence among the Ocotea species appears to be much lower than among species of the most closely related, likewise species-rich genera Cinnamomum, Lindera and Litsea.
