Codon usage bias and selective constraints in Gentianales mitogenomes.
Article in BMC genomics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Mitochondrial genome evolution(MGE) in flowering plants is quasi-intertwined-dynamic. MGE is driven via mutational pressures, translational selection, and functional constraints. However, unveiling the intra- and inter-genomic interplay governing evolutionary drives remains challenging. We investigate MGE-dynamic across twelve Gentianales species, revealing distinct codon usage patterns influenced by opposing evolutionary forces. While the first and second codon positions are highly conserved, the third codon positions show significant variability (27.7% - 45.8%), reflecting diverse selective pressures. Multi-dimensional analyses, including ENc-GC3s plots, neutrality plots, and PR2 bias, indicate that natural selection predominantly governs codon usage, outweighing mutational biases. Key findings include, non-significant correlations between GC12 and GC3 (R
