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

backgroundThe objective of this study was to assemble the mitochondrial genome of Bhadawari buffalo and do phylogenetic analysis of it. We assembled the complete mitochondrial sequence of Bhadawari buffalo de novo from short Illumina sequences generated from the paired-end library. Phylogenetic analysis was done on 24 assembled mitochondrial genomes from the Bovidae family using the Maximum Likelihood method and General Time Reversible Substitution Model.

resultsThe complete circularized mitochondrial assembly of Bhadawari consists of 16,358 bp and this encodes 36 genes (13 Protein coding 22 tRNA and 2 rRNA sequences). The phylogenetic analysis with other published mitochondrial assemblies revealed a divergence time of Bubalis and Syncerus from the Bos group about 6.4 million years from today. The divergence of Syncerus-Bubalis, Mediterranean occurred at about 4.17 MYA and 1.84 MYA respectively. The Indian and Egyptian buffaloes were grouped in a subclade while Chinese and Iraqi buffaloes were in another. The Indonesian and Indian buffaloes diverged from the Chinese subclade by about 0.72 MYA.

conclusionsThe study suggests an independent selection and improvement of the Asiatic buffaloes in different geographical locations 10,000-40,000 years from today which coincides with the domestication period of buffaloes. The Bhadawari and Egyptian water buffalo revealed a more recent divergence.
