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

Introduction: Previous phylogenetic studies of Ipomoeeae species have shown inconsistent results, and latest molecular analyses have classified this tribe into two major clades (Argyreiinae and Astripomoeinae) comprising seven smaller clades. The cross-species chromosome painting (CCP) analysis can offer valuable insights into the phylogenetic relationships among species. Methods: Here, we analyzed representative species from each small clade using CCP with oligonucleotide (oligo) probes derived from chromosomes 7 (7-1/7-2) and 15 (15-1/15-2) of Results and discussion: We found that each probe produced specific hybridization signals exclusively on one chromosome pair in all analyzed species, suggesting that the synteny of two chromosomes have been maintained after nearly 25 million years of divergence of these species. Despite conserved synteny, distinct chromosome painting patterns were observed among species. In all analyzed 2n=30 species from Astripomoeinae clade, probes of 7-1/7-2 and 15-1/15-2 hybridized to opposite chromosomal arms of their homologous chromosomes, respectively. By contrast, 2n=30 species from Argyreiinae showed co-localization of 7-1 and major 7-2 signals on same chromosomal arm along with weaker 7-2 signals on the opposing arm, while maintaining the 15-1 and 15-2 probes to different chromosomal arms. Notably, in all analyzed 2n=28 species from two major clades, two probes from the same chromosome showed co-localization to the same chromosomal arm, indicating that inter-chromosomal translocations or rearrangements have involved these two chromosomes. Thus, CCP analysis revealed significant cytogenetic divergence between 2n=28 and 2n=30 species that challenges existing molecular-based classifications which cluster them within the same small clade. Additionally, species relationships were further resolved through physical mapping of the 5S and 45S rDNA using fluorescence
