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 genetic characteristics of six wild populations of Ormosia microphylla were investigated and their soil properties were analyzed by using Hyper-seq sequencing technology. Based on the findings, targeted protection strategies are proposed. Genetic diversity analysis revealed moderate overall genetic diversity of O. microphylla populations, with the ZD showing the highest and the JX the lowest genetic diversity. Compared to the populations outside the tiankeng, the LY, located in a Karst tiankeng, exhibited lower genetic diversity. This reduced genetic diversity of LY was possibly influenced by the combined influence of selective pressures unique to the tiankeng environment as well as the founder effect. Genetic structure analysis further indicated that the optimal number of clusters for the six populations was K = 7. The LY exhibited a relatively pure genetic constitution, whereas the other populations exhibited more complex genetic structures. Phylogenetic analysis and assessments of genetic differentiation coefficients further demonstrated significant genetic distance of the LY from the other populations, with a high degree of differentiation. Overall, there was a significant level of genetic differentiation among the six populations. Soil analysis revealed that total organic content and Fe were significantly higher compared to other elements across the six populations. In addition, compared to other populations, the LY exhibited notable variations in soil characteristics, such as higher levels of Fe, K, TK, and Ca. Additionally, the pH of the soil harboring LY was neutral, whereas that of other populations was acidic. IBD analysis, after removing the LY, revealed that the outcomes changed from non-significant to significant, highlighting the critical role of the isolation effect of Karst tiankeng and geographical barriers in promoting genetic differentiation among populations. IBE analysis further indicated a significant impact of K and TK content in the soil on genetic differentiation between populations.
