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

backgroundAngiosperms are the largest plant group and play an essential role in the biosphere. Phylogenetic relationships of many families and orders remain contentious, and, in an attempt to address these, we performed the most extensive sampling of mitochondrial genes to date.

resultsWe reconstructed a seed plant phylogenetic framework based on 41 mitochondrial protein-coding sequences (mtCDSs), representing 335 families and 63 orders with 481 angiosperm species. The results for major clades of angiosperms produced moderate to strong support (> 70% bootstrap) for more than 80% of nodes and strong support for most orders. Eight major nodes were supported, including the three paraphyletic ANA orders (Amborellales, Nymphaeales, and Austrobaileyales) and five major core-angiosperm clades. Chloranthales and Ceratophyllales are sister to the eudicots, whereas the monocots are sister to the magnoliids. Although well-supported, relationships within the asterids and rosids were in some cases unresolved or weakly supported, due to the low levels of variability detected in these genes.

conclusionsOur results indicated that mitochondrial genomic data were effective at resolving deep node relationships of angiosperm phylogeny and thus represent an important resource for phylogenetics and evolutionary studies of angiosperm.
