The complete chloroplast genome of Cicer reticulatum and comparative analysis against relative Cicer species.
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 5 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
The chloroplast (cp) genome is an adequate genomic resource to investigate evolutionary relationships among plant species and it carries marker genes available for species identification. The Cicer reticulatum is one of perennial species as the progenitor of cultivated chickpeas. Although a large part of the land plants has a quadruple chloroplast genome organization, the cp genome of C. reticulatum consists of one LSC (Large Single Copy Region), one SSC (Small Single Copy Region), and one IR (Inverted Repeat) region, which indicates that it has an untypical and unique structure. This type of chloroplast genome belongs to the IR-lacking clade. Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) was extracted from fresh leaves using a high salt-based protocol and sequencing was performed using DNA Nanoball Sequencing technology. The comparative analysis employed between the species to examine genomic differences and gene homology. The study also included codon usage frequency analysis, hotspot divergence analysis, and phylogenetic analysis using various bioinformatics tools. The cp genome of C. reticulatum was found 125,794 bp in length, with an overall GC content of 33.9%. With a total of 79 protein-coding genes, 34 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Comparative genomic analysis revealed 99.93% similarity between C. reticulatum and C. arietinum. Phylogenetic analysis further indicated that the closest evolutionary relative to C. arietinum was C. reticulatum, whereas the previously sequenced wild Cicer species displayed slight distinctions across their entire coding regions. Several genomic regions, such as clpP and ycf1, were found to exhibit high nucleotide diversity, suggesting their potential utility as markers for investigating the evolutionary relationships within the Cicer genus. The first complete cp genome sequence of C. reticulatum will provide novel insights for future genetic research on Cicer crops.
