Comparative chloroplast genome analysis of seven extant Citrullus species insight into genetic variation, phylogenetic relationships, and selective pressure.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Citrullus ecirrhosus, Citrullus rehmii, and Citrullus naudinianus are three important related wild species of watermelon in the genus Citrullus, and their morphological differences are clear, however, their chloroplast genome differences remain unknown. This study is the first to assemble, analyze, and publish the complete chloroplast genomes of C. ecirrhosus, C. rehmii, and C. naudinianus. A comparative analysis was then conducted among the complete chloroplast genomes of seven extant Citrullus species, and the results demonstrated that the average genome sizes of Citrullus is 157,005 bp, a total of 130-133 annotated genes were identified, including 8 rRNA, 37 tRNA and 85-88 protein-encoding genes. Their gene content, order, and genome structure were similar. However, noncoding regions were more divergent than coding regions, and rps16-trnQ was a hypervariable fragment. Thirty-four polymorphic SSRs, 1,271 SNPs and 234 INDELs were identified. Phylogenetic trees revealed a clear phylogenetic relationship of Citrullus species, and the developed molecular markers (SNPs and rps16-trnQ) could be used for taxonomy in Citrullus. Three genes (atpB, clpP1, and rpoC2) were identified to undergo selection and would promote the environmental adaptation of Citrullus.
