Ortho2Web: a workflow for disentangling the roles of hybridization and allopolyploidization in reticulation within Campanulaceae.
Article in BMC biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundPhylogenetic networks (Web of Life) depict the intricate evolutionary dynamics of organisms more accurately than simple bifurcating trees (Tree of Life), because processes such as hybridization and polyploidy connect lineages through reticulation. However, most existing workflows still examine evolutionary mechanisms separately. To provide an integrated view, we studied the bellflower tribe (Campanuleae), a lineage with a well‑documented reticulate past, and developed Ortho2Web, a workflow that teases apart hybridization and polyploidization within a single analytical framework.
resultsOrtho2Web employs multiple strategies to reduce the impact of non-biological factors, including (1) integrating multi-source genomic data to minimize sampling gaps, (2) generating complementary datasets to quantify phylogenetic signals, and (3) using tree-based orthology inference methods to mitigate the effects of paralogs. It then focused on clarifying the roles of biological factors, such as incomplete lineage sorting (ILS), hybridization/gene flow, and polyploidization. When applied to Campanuleae, the workflow produced a robust phylogenetic backbone and showed that early diversification was driven by interacting hybridization and allopolyploidization, while ILS contributed only marginally.
conclusionsBy integrating diverse data sources and analytical approaches in a modular, scalable framework, Ortho2Web offers a practical platform for inferring web-like phylogenies and elucidating the mechanisms of reticulate evolution.
