Phylogenetics of the supertribe Paulliniodae (Sapindaceae) with emphasis on chromosome evolution: taxonomic implications including the new genus Acevedoa.
Article in Annals of botany, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 AND
aimsThe supertribe Paulliniodae includes Athyaneae, Bridgesieae, Thouinieae and Paullinieae tribes. Molecular phylogeny and chromosomal diversity are relatively known, and some doubts persist about chromosome evolution processes and the taxonomic position of a group of Cardiospermum and Urvillea species weakly associated with Serjania.
methodsWe analysed the molecular phylogeny and diversification time of the group, including unpublished DNA sequences of the ITS, trnL intron and trnL-trnF for 26 species. A total of 87 species were subjected to maximum likelihood and Bayesian analysis of molecular sequences. The association between chromosome number variation and phylogenetic relationships was analysed using ChromEvol, incorporating 14 newly determined chromosome numbers for Athyana, Paullinia, Serjania and Urvillea. KEY
resultsThe basic chromosome number reconstructions in Paulliniodae indicated x = 15 in all models. These results demonstrate a significant chromosome reduction process in the tribe Paullinieae that allows characterization of some genera of the tribe during the late Oligocene-early Miocene (15-20 Mya), supporting the foundation of a new genus to accommodate Cardiospermum integerrimum and Cardiospermum heringeri, two species with uncertain taxonomic position.
conclusionWe propose the new genus Acevedoa, which is defined by a unique set of character states, including two corniculiform nectaries in the form of arched horns, calyx pentamerous, fruit trigonous turbinate, three winged, with remarkable stipe, relatively large sculptured seeds and 2n = 14. The following two new combinations are made to incorporate the results of our findings: Acevedoa heringeri and Acevedoa integerrima. Descriptions and illustrations are provided, with comments on geographical distribution, phenology, conservation status and generic relationships. The lectotype for the name belonging to Cardiospermum integerrimum is designated. A key to the genera of Paullinieae is added. The new genus, supported by morphological, chromosomal and molecular evidence, adds new features and extends knowledge on the supertribe Paulliniodae.
