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

backgroundThrushes (family Turdidae) are ecologically important passerine birds widely distributed across the Northern Hemisphere. However, the phylogenetic placement of several East Asian congeners, including

resultsMost protein-coding genes initiated with the standard ATG codon, although lineage-specific deviations such as GTG in COX1 and ND2 were identified, and incomplete stop codons (T- or TA-) were observed, consistent with post-transcriptional polyadenylation. The 22 tRNA genes displayed typical cloverleaf secondary structures, except for trnS(AGN), which lacked a DHU arm, while rRNA genes were 977 bp (12S, 48.52% GC) and 1590 bp (16S, 44.65% GC), showing conserved stem regions but variable loop regions. Codon usage analysis revealed a strong bias toward A/T-ending codons, with a total of 3798 codons and an effective number of codons (ENC) of ~40, indicating moderate codon bias shaped by both mutational pressure and translational selection. Comparative analysis of evolutionary rates demonstrated that conserved genes such as COX1 and CYTB are suitable for resolving deeper relationships, whereas rapidly evolving genes like ATP8 provide resolution among closely related taxa.

conclusionsPhylogenetic reconstructions based on 13 mitochondrial protein-coding genes robustly supported the monophyly of Turdidae and recovered
