Genotyping-by-sequencing reveals low genetic diversity and peripheral isolation in Southern populations of Sophora koreensis, a Korean endemic shrub.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
We evaluated the patterns of genetic diversity, structure, and differentiation both within and among populations levels of Sophora koreensis in South Korean populations using the genotyping-by-sequencing method. We obtained 1,463 single nucleotide polymorphisms from 92 individuals from 12 populations. Genetic diversity analysis revealed a significant heterozygote deficiency (P < 0.001) and low levels of genetic diversity (average expected heterozygosity = 0.150, mean observed heterozygosity = 0.015, and nucleotide diversity = 0.163) in S. koreensis. Three peripheral populations (SC, SE, and SF) located at the southeastern margin of S. koreensis distribution showed lower levels of genetic diversity than other populations. Further to the population admixture results, Principal Component Analysis and barrier analyses showed clear genetic differentiation between the three peripheral populations and the other main populations. The genetic patterns and structures of the three peripheral populations were most likely a consequence of their isolation from the main populations and their small effective population sizes. Geographic and hydrological barriers between peripheral and central populations effectively interfere with gene flow among populations. Habitat protection should be strengthened for the entire distribution of S. koreensis to maintain its genetic diversity and unique genotypes, including peripheral populations.
