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

backgroundHeliotropiaceae is a family of the order Boraginales and has over 450 species. The members of the family Heliotropiaceae have been widely reported to be used in traditional medicine Over time, the classification of Heliotropiaceae has remained uncertain and has moved from family to subfamily, or conversely.

resultsIn the present study, we sequenced, analyzed, and compared the complete plastomes of Euploca strigosa, Heliotropium arbainense, and Heliotropium longiflorum with the genomes of related taxa. The lengths of the plastomes of E. strigosa, H. arbainense, and H. longiflorum were 155,174 bp, 154,709 bp, and 154,496 bp, respectively. Each plastome consisted of 114 genes: 80 protein-coding genes, 4 ribosomal RNA genes, and 30 transfer RNA genes. The long repeats analysis indicated that reverse, palindromic, complement and forward repeats were all found in the three plastomes. The simple repeats analysis showed that the plastomes of E. strigosa, H. arbainense, and H. longiflorum contained 158, 165, and 151 microsatellites, respectively. The phylogenetic analysis confirmed two major clades in the Boraginales: clade I comprised Boraginaceae, while clade II included Heliotropiaceae, Ehretiaceae, Lennoaceae, and Cordiaceae. Inside the family Heliotropiaceae, E. strigosa is nested within the Heliotropium genus.

conclusionsThis study expands our knowledge of the evolutionary relationships within Heliotropiaceae and offers useful genetic resources.
