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

Dryopteridaceae are the largest fern family and include nearly 20% of extant fern diversity, with 24 currently recognized genera. Recognition and delineation of genera within this family have varied greatly. The three-subfamily classification of Dryopteridaceae was based primarily on molecular phylogenetic relationships but lacked morphological evidence, and the phylogenetic relationships of the subfamilies and genera of Dryopteridaceae are only partially resolved. A comprehensive and robust phylogeny is urgently needed. The heterogeneous morphology of the current members of Dryopteridaceae makes the family and its subfamilies difficult to define by single morphological characteristics or even character combinations. We carried out phylogenetic analyses to reconstruct a highly supported phylogeny of Dryopteridaceae. Our analyses recovered 24 strongly supported clades grouped into seven major clades of Dryopteridaceae. Seven morphological characters including habit, rhizome shape, frond morphology, rachis-costae architecture, appendages on stipe base and lamina, and soral arrangement were found to be informative for identifying different major clades and clades in Dryopteridaceae. Based on phylogenetic reconstruction and morphological analysis, we presented an updated infra-familial classification of Dryopteridaceae with seven subfamilies and 24 genera including four newly proposed subfamilies (Ctenitidoideae, Lastreopsidoideae, Pleocnemioideae, and Polystichopsidoideae). Morphological character combinations of each subfamily are summarized, and a key is provided. Most genera sensu PPG I are recognized, with
