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

Diatoms are pivotal in global oxygen, carbon dioxide, and silica cycling, contributing significantly to photosynthesis and serving as fundamental components in aquatic ecosystems. Recent advancements in genomic sequencing have shed light on their evolutionary dynamics, revealing evolutionary complex genomes influenced by symbiotic relationships and horizontal gene transfer events. By analyzing publicly available sequences for 120 plastomes and 70 mitogenomes, this paper aims to elucidate the evolutionary dynamics of diatoms across diverse lineages. Gene losses and pseudogenes were more frequently observed in plastomes compared with mitogenomes. Overall, gene losses were particularly abundant in the plastomes of Astrosyne radiata, Toxarium undulatum, and Proboscia sp. Frequently lost and pseudogenized genes were acpP, ilv, serC, tsf, tyrC, ycf42 and bas1. In mitogenomes, mttB, secY and tatA genes were lost repeatedly across several diatom taxa. Analysis of nucleotide substitution rates indicated that, in general, mitogenomes were evolving at a more rapid rate compared to plastomes. This is contrary to what was observed in synteny analyses, where plastomes exhibited more structural rearrangements than mitogenomes, with the exception of the genus Coscinodiscus and one group of species within Thalassiosira.
