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 lacquer tree Toxicodendron trichocarpum (Miq) Kuntze (Anacardiaceae: Rhoideae), which is known for its abundance of urushiol, produces a high-quality raw lacquer. There have been five complete chloroplast genomes reported in the genus Toxicodendron, while, only two T. trichocarpum genes were sequenced and used for phylogenetic and biogeographic analysis. In this study, we sequenced the T. trichocarpum whole genome on the Illumina HiSeq 4000 platform and investigated its complete chloroplast genome characteristics. Our results showed that the length of the chloroplast genome of T. trichocarpum was 159,959 bp with a GC content of 37.9%. The genome was found to comprise a large single-copy region (LSC) spanning 87,964 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,979 bp, and two inverted repeat regions (IRa/IRb) of equal length, each measuring 26,508 bp. A total of 134 genes were annotated, consisting of 89 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes and eight rRNA genes. Altogether, 84 chloroplast simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were identified, predominantly composed of single nucleotides (A/T), with a clear preference for A/T. By comparing the chloroplast genomes of the genus Toxicodendron, six relatively highly variable regions were identified for future molecular marker development. Phylogenetic analyses conducted within the tribe Rhoideae strongly supported the monophyly of the genus Toxicodendron. The species T. trichocarpum was sister to T. diversilobum, with a high level of support at 99%, forming a clade with T. griffithii and T. vernicifluum. Divergence time estimation suggested that Toxicodendron was originated at 42.47 mya (95% HPD: 41.99-42.99 mya) and T. trichocarpum occurred concomitantly with the sister species T. diversilobum at approximately 16.33 mya. We first reported the complete chloroplast genome of T. trichocarpum and comparative analysis of the Toxicodendron species, which will provide valuable genomic information for accurate classification and evolutionary process of this important taxa in the future.
