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

Rhinogobius virgigena is a fish species of the family Gobiidae, order Perciformes. This study aims to better understand the phylogenetic status of R. virgigena within Gobiidae and the phylogenetic relations in this family. Mitochondrial DNA is maternally inherited and does not recombine; therefore, mitochondrial genomes simplify genealogical tracing and reveal phylogenetic relationships among species more clearly than nuclear genomes. Therefore, we used high-throughput sequencing to obtain a complete mitochondrial genome sequence of R. virgigena and conducted phylogenetic analyses. The R. virgigena mitochondrial genome is 16,491 bp long and its base composition shows AT preference. It comprises 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a D loop. Protein-coding genes account for 69.3% of the complete genome. Leucine is the most abundant amino acid, whereas cysteine is the least abundant. tRNA genes account for 9.4% of the genome. Twenty-one tRNAs have a typical cloverleaf secondary structure, whereas tRNA-Ser1 lacks the dihydrouracil arm. The two rRNA genes are separated by tRNA-Val. A mitochondrial genome contains seven overlaps and 11 gaps, indicating a tight arrangement. Two phylogenetic trees constructed based on the nucleotide sequences of 13 protein-coding genes from 54 Gobiidae species using the maximum likelihood method and Bayesian inference revealed that R. virgigena is the most closely related to Rhinogobius duospilus.
