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

Acer okamotoanum, a medicinally significant endemic plant of Korea, has seen limited genomic research. To address this gap, we conducted a comprehensive sequencing and analysis of its chloroplast genome. The assembled genome is 156,242 bp in length, with typical quadripartite structure, consisting of a large single-copy region, a small single-copy region, and two inverted repeat regions. It contains 130 genes, including 85 protein-coding, 37 tRNA, and 8 rRNA genes. Sixteen genes have a single intron, while clpP and ycf3 possess two introns each. Additionally, 17 genes are duplicated within the inverted repeat regions. The genome analysis revealed 92 Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs), predominantly located in intergenic regions, with a bias toward A/T-rich codons. Comparative analysis with five closely related Acer species highlighted a highly conserved genomic structure, but also revealed differences in SSRs and repeat sequences. Hypervariable regions, such as rpl32-trnL and ycf1, were identified as potential molecular markers for phylogenetic and population studies. Phylogenetic analysis involving 37 chloroplast genomes confirmed the monophyly of the Acer genus and placed A. okamotoanum within the Platanoidea section, closely related to A. truncatum. This study improves the understanding of A. okamotoanum's genomic structure, offering insights for phylogenetic analysis, marker development, and conservation efforts.
