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

The mechanisms of species formation and diversity within the Orchidaceae have always been a topic of great research interest, and molecular biology-based explanations for these phenomena are lacking. Here, we present a comparative genomic analysis comprising 24 chromosome-level genome assemblies and genome skimming data for 204 species from Dendrobium. We identify that the genetic conservation in Dendrobium is associated with its environmental adaptability. And the formation of species diversity in the genus Dendrobium is driven by the compression of the Indian plate and changes in sea level and precipitation. The CYP734A50 might play important role in Dendrobium self-incompatibility (SI) species and the type-1 SI system lost through deletion of the entire single polymorphic locus (S-locus). Our results reveal the genetics background of genomic variation, biosynthesis, and adaptive evolution in Dendrobium, providing fundamental insights into the relationships between the genome and trait evolution of orchids and into angiosperm diversification.
