Mitochondrial DNA Diversity of Mesocricetus auratus and Other Cricetinae Species among Cricetidae Family.
Article in Biochemical genetics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Unique anatomical and physiological features have made hamster species desirable research models. Comparative genomics and phylogenetic analysis of the hamster family members to clarify their evolution and genetic relationship, can provide a genetic basis for the comprehension of the variable research results obtained using different hamster models. The Syrian golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) is the most widely used species. In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of M. auratus, compared it with the mitogenome of other Cricetinae subfamily species, and defined its phylogenetic position in the Cricetidae family. Our results show that the mitogenome organization, gene arrangement, base composition, and genetic analysis of the protein coding genes (PCGs) of M. auratus are similar to those observed in previous reports on Cricetinae species. Nonetheless, our analysis clarifies some striking differences of M. auratus relative to other subfamily members, namely distinct codon usage frequency of TAT (Tyr), AAT (Asn), and GAA (Glu) and the presence of the conserved sequence block 3 (CSB-3) in the control region of M. auratus mitogenome and other hamsters (not found in Arvicolinae). These results suggest the particularity of amino acid codon usage bias of M. auratus and special regulatory signals for the heavy strand replication in Cricetinae. Additionally, Bayesian inference/maximum likelihood (BI/ML) tree shows that Cricetinae and Arvicolinae are sister taxa sharing a common ancestor, and Neotominae split prior to the split between Cricetinae and Arvicolinae. Our results support taxonomy revisions in Cricetulus kamensis and Cricetulus migratorius, and further revision is needed within the other two subfamilies. Among the hamster research models, Cricetulus griseus is the species with highest sequence similarity and closer genetic relationship with M. auratus. Our results show mitochondrial DNA diversity of M. auratus and other Cricetinae species and provide genetic basis for judgement of different hamster models, promoting the development and usage of hamsters with regional characteristics.
