Assembly and comparative analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of Abies beshanzuensis: insights into conservation genomics of a critically endangered fir.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundAbies beshanzuensis, an endemic fir native to the subtropical high mountains of eastern China, is classified as a first-class nationally protected wild plant and is listed as Critically Endangered (CR) by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Taxonomic controversies have long persisted among A. beshanzuensis, A. ziyuanensis, and A. dayuanensis, yet studies focusing on their mitochondrial DNA remain limited.
resultsIn this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of A. beshanzuensis was assembled using a combination of Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing and Illumina short-read sequencing technologies. The mitochondrial genome is 1.06 Mb in size with a GC content of 45.97%, and consists of nine linear chromosomes and one circular chromosome. Comprehensive analyses, including genome annotation, structural comparisons, RNA editing site prediction, and phylogenetic reconstruction, were subsequently conducted.
conclusionThe results provide important insights into the mitochondrial genome architecture of A. beshanzuensis, offering a valuable resource for clarifying its controversial taxonomic status and advancing the understanding of evolutionary relationships within the genus Abies.
