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

Graptopetalum paraguayense is a perennial succulent plant with ornamental, ecological, and medicinal value. Here, we present the first complete mitogenome of G. paraguayense, assembled as a circular molecule of 242,059 bp with a GC content of 43.65%. The genome contains 50 genes, including 31 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 13 tRNAs, 3 rRNAs, and 3 pseudogenes. A total of 599 RNA editing sites were identified, with a predominant effect of altering amino acid hydrophobicity (47.41% were hydrophilic-to-hydrophobic conversions). Codon usage bias analysis revealed a preference for GCU (Ala), CGA (Arg), and UUA (Leu), with the stop codon UAA exhibiting the highest RSCU value (1.94). A total of 122 repetitive sequences were identified, comprising 59 simple sequence repeats (SSRs), 1 tandem repeat, and 62 dispersed repeats. Evolutionary analysis indicated positive selection on ccmB and nad7 genes, while the majority of PCGs were under purifying selection. The mitogenome of G. paraguayense shared 57.28% sequence similarity with that of Sedum plumbizincicola. We also found evidence of chloroplast-to-mitochondrial DNA transfer, involving genes such as psaC, ndhE, ndhG, ndhI, ndhA, and ndhH. Comparative analyses identified eleven divergent hotspot regions: atp9, atp8, rpl5, cox2, ccmFn, rps7, ccmC, ccmFc, mttB, nad6, and rps13. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the placement of G. paraguayense within the Acre clade of Crassulaceae, showing a sister relationship with S. plumbizincicola. Our study not only provides the first mitochondrial genomic resource for G. paraguayense but also reveals potential adaptive evolution through positive selection and interorganellar gene transfer, offering new perspectives on mitogenome plasticity in succulent plants.
