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

The section Alatae of genus Lemna of the monocotyledonous aquatic duckweed family (Lemnaceae) consists of rather diverse accessions with unknown phylogeny and unclear taxonomic assignment. In contrast to other duckweeds, some Alatae accessions, in addition to mainly vegetative propagation, produce readily flowers and viable seeds. We analyzed the genomic diversity and phylogenetic relationship of 52 Alatae accessions. For this purpose, we applied multiple molecular and cytogenetic approaches, including plastid and nuclear sequence polymorphisms, chromosome counting, genome size determination, and genomic in situ hybridization in combination with geographic distribution. We uncovered ploidy variation, recurrent hybridization, and backcrosses between species and their hybrids. The latter successfully spread over three continents. The results elucidate the evolution of Alatae accessions and explain the difficult taxonomic assignment of distinct accessions. Our study might be an example for analogous studies to resolve the hitherto unclear relationships among accessions of the duckweed genera Wolffiella and Wolffia.
