Disentangling the causes of high polymorphism sharing in sympatric Petunia species from subtropical highland grasslands: insights from nuclear diversity.

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
Genetic polymorphism sharing between closely related and sympatric plant species could result from common ancestry, ancient or recent hybridization. Here we analyzed four Petunia species from the subtropical highland grasslands in southern South America based on nuclear diversity to disentangle the causes of high polymorphism sharing between them. We genotyped microsatellite loci, employed population genetic methods to estimate variability, species limits, and ancient and recent gene flow, and assigned individuals to genetic and taxonomic groups. Finally, we modeled evolutionary processes to determine the impact of Quaternary climate changes on species phylogenetic relationships. Our results indicated that genetic diversity was strongly influenced by expansion and habitat fragmentation during the Quaternary cycles. The extensive polymorphism sharing is mainly due to species' common ancestry, and we did not discard ancient hybridization. Nowadays, niche differentiation is the primary driver for maintaining genetic and morphological limits between the four analysed Petunia species and there is no recent gene flow between them.
