Ancient gene linkages and ultraconserved elements disentangle Acari interrelationships.
Article in iScience, 2026. 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 interrelationships among Acari groups, Acariformes (mites) and Parasitiformes (ticks and parasitic mites) have been debated for long. We interrogated 90 genomes of Arachnida through a customized Chelicerata-wide ultraconserved elements bait set to resolve higher-level relationships of these two orders, including the first genome of Opilioacaridae, the putative sister group to the remaining Parasitiformes. Datasets with variable locus occupancy thresholds and partitioning schemes supported the monophyly of Acariformes and Parasitiformes, including their major subgroups. Exploration for rare genomic changes as potential character systems was done using a custom 27 Acari-specific ancestral linkage group (AcarLGs). AcarLGs revealed distinct chromosomal fusion patterns within subsets of both orders, indicating robust signal at deeper nodes, supporting their respective monophyly. Syntenic signal is blurred in miniaturized parasitic taxa (e.g.,
