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

In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of Theileria velifera and compared it with other Apicomplexan parasites. The mitochondrial genome of T. velifera is a linear monomer molecule spanning 6,125 bp, and it encodes 3 protein-coding genes (PCGs): cox1, cob, and cox3. Besides, it contains 5 large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene fragments and terminal inverted repeats (TIR) at both ends. Moreover, the mitochondrial genomes of most Apicomplexan parasites in this study are typically around 6,000 bp in length and are linear in structure, featuring three PCGs. The start codons observed in Thaleria spp. and Babesia spp. parasites predominantly include ATN, GTN, and TTN, while the end codons are mainly TAA, TAG, and TGA. Phylogenetic analysis showed that T. velifera was closely related to T. annulata, T. parva, T. taurotragi and T. lestoquardi. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of T. velifera was examined and compared to other Apicomplexan parasites in this study, offering fresh perspectives on the evolution and phylogenetic connections among these parasites.
