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

premise of the studyCoula edulis Baill (Coulaceae) is a common tree species in the Guineo-Congolian forests producing an edible fruit known as African walnut, which is an important food and income resource for rural populations. However, the species suffers from a deficit of natural regeneration. We developed here nuclear microsatellite markers for C. edulis to be able to study the genetic structure of its natural populations and gene flow. METHODS AND

resultsA genomic library was obtained using the Illumina platform, and 21 polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed. The polymorphic microsatellites displayed eight to 22 alleles per locus (average: 14.2), with a mean expected heterozygosity ranging from 0.33 to 0.72 in five populations from Central and West Africa.

conclusionsThe high polymorphism of the nuclear microsatellite markers developed makes them useful to investigate gene flow and the organization of genetic diversity in C. edulis, and to assess whether particular genetic resources require conservation efforts.
