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 genus Corynorhinus is composed of four recognized species: C. rafinesquii, C. townsendii, C. mexicanus, and C. leonpaniaguae, the latter two being endemic to Mexico. According to the IUCN, C. mexicanus is considered "Near Threatened", as its populations are dwindling and habitats are affected by anthropogenic disturbance. Corynorhinus leonpaniaguae has not been assigned to an IUCN Red List risk category due to its recent description. METHODS AND

resultsIn this study, the mitochondrial genomes of C. mexicanus and C. leonpaniaguae were assembled and characterized in detail. The mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) of C. mexicanus and C. leonpaniaguae have lengths of 16,470 and 16,581 bp respectively, with a predominant nucleotide usage of adenine (31.670% and 31.729%, respectively) and thymine (26.15% and 26.18%, respectively). The mtDNA of C. mexicanus and C. leonpaniaguae is composed of 37 coding and non-coding elements: 22 transfer RNAs (tRNA), 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNAs and a non-coding region, the control region, which has a length of 933 bp and 1,149 bp, respectively. All tRNAs exhibited a cloverleaf secondary structure, with the exception of trn-Ser1 which showed a deletion of the dihydrouridine arm in the two species. All PCGs are subjected to purifying selection, with atp8 being the gene showing the highest Ka/Ks value.

conclusionsThese are the first whole mitogenomic resources developed for C. mexicanus and C. leonpaniaguae and enhance our knowledge of the ecology of these species and aid in their conservation.
