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

Melia azedarach is a species of enormous value of pharmaceutical industries. Although the chloroplast genome of M. azedarach has been explored, the information of mitochondrial genome (Mt genome) remains surprisingly limited. In this study, we used a hybrid assembly strategy of BGI short-reads and Nanopore long-reads to assemble the Mt genome of M. azedarach. The Mt genome of M. azedarach is characterized by two circular chromosomes with 350,142 bp and 290,387 bp in length, respectively, which encodes 35 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 23 tRNA genes, and 3 rRNA genes. A pair of direct repeats (R1 and R2) were associated with genome recombination, resulting in two conformations based on the Sanger sequencing and Oxford Nanopore sequencing. Comparative analysis identified 19 homologous fragments between Mt and chloroplast genome, with the longest fragment of 12,142 bp. The phylogenetic analysis based on PCGs were consist with the latest classification of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group. Notably, a total of 356 potential RNA editing sites were predicted based on 35 PCGs, and the editing events lead to the formation of the stop codon in the rps10 gene and the start codons in the nad4L and atp9 genes, which were verified by PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing. Taken together, the exploration of M. azedarach gap-free Mt genome provides a new insight into the evolution research and complex mitogenome architecture.
