Morphological traits and mitogenome of Thaumapsylla breviceps orientalis endemic to China provide insight into the evolution of the order Siphonaptera.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
The Thaumapsylla breviceps orientalis is endemic to China and exhibits extreme host specificity (monoxenous). This study reports the first mitogenome sequenced for the family Ischnopsyllidae and provides comprehensive analysis of both the morphological characteristics and mitogenome of T. b. orientalis. The assembled mitogenome is 15,631 bp in length with a high AT content (78.5%), and its codon usage bias is predominantly shaped by natural selection. Evolutionary analysis based on evolutionary rates and nucleotide diversity across different families within Siphonaptera revealed that Pulicidae has the fastest evolutionary rate and the highest nucleotide diversity, a pattern likely driven by differences in their hosts and habitats. We observed that early-diverging flea lineages are predominantly polyxenous, whereas later-diverging lineages are primarily pleioxenous or monoxenous. Phylogenetic results indicate that the taxonomic status of the families Ctenophthalmidae, Vermipsyllidae, and Hystrichopsyllidae requires further study and revision. This research addresses a key knowledge gap in Ischnopsyllidae mitogenomics and clarifies the phylogenetic relationships within the order Siphonaptera.
