Complete chloroplast genome sequence and phylogenetic analysis of Symphytum officinale.

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
Symphytum officinale is a perennial herb belonging to the Boraginaceae. Here, we sequenced the complete chloroplast (cp) genomes of S. officinale using Illumina sequencing technology. The results revealed that the cp genome is 148,149 bp in length and exhibits a typical quadripartite structure, with a pair of inverted repeat regions (IR) comprising 27,001 bp, a large single-copy (LSC) region comprising 77,366 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region comprising 16,781 bp. The sequence contained 133 unique genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 transfer RNAs, eight ribosomal RNAs, and two pseudogenes. Six tandem, 42 dispersed, and 38 simple sequence repeats were identified. Sequence divergence analysis across 21 Boraginaceae species revealed that the most divergent regions, potentially serving as specific DNA barcodes, were found in non-coding spacers. A comparative analysis of the IR/SC boundary regions of the 21 Boraginaceae species revealed IR expansion events in S. officinale. Phylogenetic analysis based on 63 protein-coding genes demonstrated that S. officinale was closely related to Nonea vesicaria. This represents the first cp genome sequenced in Symphytum, and our results provide valuable genetic information for future population and phylogenetic studies of Boraginaceae.
