Molecular phylogenetics of Micromeles (Rosaceae: Maleae): implications for taxonomy.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMicromeles Decne., belonging to the tribe Maleae of the family Rosaceae, has a complicated taxonomic history. It was either recognized as a distinct genus in the broad sense (Micromeles s.l.), or in the restricted sense (Micromeles s.s.), or even merged within the genus Aria, Pyrus, or Sorbus. The present study aims to clear the confusions of the taxonomic identity of Micromeles using both plastid and nuclear datasets.
resultsBoth phylogenetic trees based on plastome and ITS datasets strongly support the monophyly of Micromeles s.l. However, Micromeles s.s. and the other five small genera, including Alniaria, Dunnaria, Griffitharia, Thomsonaria, and Wilsonaria are non-monophyletic and are synonymized under Micromeles s.l. Pleiosorbus has been synonymized under Micromeles s.l. following Lu and Ku, and Mezhenska et al. based on their morphological similarities. Two new combinations at the infraspecific level are proposed here.
conclusionsThis study approves of the adoption of the broad sense of Micromeles based on both phylogenetic and morphological evidence.
