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

backgroundThe Hengduan Mountains (HDM) are one of the major global biodiversity hotspots in the world. Several evolutionary scenarios, especially in-situ diversification, have been proposed to account for the high species richness of temperate plants. However, peripatric speciation, an important mode of allopatric speciation, has seldom been reported in this region.

resultsHere, two chloroplast DNA regions and 14 nuclear loci were sequenced for 112 individuals from 10 populations of Torreya fargesii var. fargesii and 63 individuals from 6 populations of T. fargesii var. yunnanensis. Population genetic analyses revealed that the two varieties are well differentiated genetically (F

conclusionsOverall, T. fargesii var. fargesii is always parapatric with respect to T. fargesii var. yunnanensis, and the latter derived from the former in peripatry of the HDM following a colonization from central China during the late Pliocene. Our findings demonstrate that peripatric speciation following dispersal events may be an important evolutionary scenario for the formation of biodiversity hotspot of the HDM.
