Mitochondrial genome of Quercus chenii: genomic features and evolutionary implications.
Article in BMC genomics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Recent advances in high-throughput sequencing have enabled detailed characterization of plant mitochondrial genomes. Here, we assembled and analyzed the mitochondrial genome of Quercus chenii Nakai, a key oak species in Fagaceae, using Illumina NovaSeq6000. The genome consists of a 364,958 bp linear and a 53,677 bp circular chromosome, totaling 418,635 bp with a GC content of 45.6%. Repeat-rich regions (210–250 and 300–340 kb) may facilitate structural rearrangements, while extensive RNA editing-particularly in nad4 and ccmF-likely enhances protein functionality and mitochondrial adaptability. Comparative collinearity analysis showed high structural conservation with Q. acutissima Carruth. (90.92%) but marked divergence from Fagus sylvatica L. (35.80%), suggesting lineage-specific rearrangements. Phylogenetic analysis based on the mitochondrial genome supports the same placement of Q. chenii within Fagaceae as that derived from the chloroplast genome. The Ka/Ks analysis across Fagaceae mitochondrial genomes revealed strong conservation of core genes, with adaptive variations in energy metabolism-related genes, suggesting functional divergence linked to metabolic optimization under environmental stress. These findings highlight the distinct evolutionary strategies of mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes: the former optimizing energy production, while the latter fine-tunes photosynthesis and stress responses. Comparison analysis with the chloroplast genome further revealed both conserved (psbT and psbC) and divergent (ndhD and ndhF) genes, implying potential historical gene transfer events. Together, these findings highlight the dynamic yet conserved nature of the Q. chenii mitochondrial genome and provide new insights into organellar genome evolution, structural plasticity, and adaptive mechanisms within the Fagaceae family.
