Insights into Mitochondrial Rearrangements and Selection in Accipitrid Mitogenomes, with New Data on
Article in Genes, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesAccipitridae mitogenomes exhibit unique structural variations, including duplicated control regions (CRs) that undergo gradual degeneration into pseudo-CRs, revealing a complex evolutionary landscape. However, annotation of this characteristic in a subset of accipitrid genomes is lacking. Due to the taxonomic diversity of Accipitridae and the presence of understudied species, comprehensive mitogenomic studies are essential. This study sought to expand and investigate the evolutionary characteristics of Accipitridae mitogenomes.
methodsA comparative analysis was conducted using the newly acquired complete mitogenomes of Haliastur indus and Accipiter badius poliopsis along with 22 available accipitrid mitogenomes. Codon usage, selective pressure, phylogenetic relationships, and structural variations were comparatively analyzed.
resultsAccipitrid mitogenomes showed a strong AT bias with adenine preference. All protein-coding genes (PCGs) were under purifying selection. The ATP8 gene exhibited relaxed purifying selection on codon usage patterns and showed high genetic variation. Selection for the ATP8 gene was specific to certain clades of accipitrids. Gene order re-examination revealed both non-degenerate CRs and highly degenerate CR2 fragments in the Accipitridae family. Non-degenerate CRs were found in early diverging species, such as Elanus caeruleus and Pernis ptilorhynchus orientalis, while more recent lineages had highly degenerate CR2 fragments with missing conserved element. Repeat motifs and sequence variations were observed in the functional CR.
conclusionsThese findings suggest that the ATP8 gene reflects metabolic adaptations, while CRs indicate potential diversification of these accipitrid species. This study provides valuable insights into mitochondrial genome evolution within the Accipitridae family.
