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

backgroundPrinsepia uniflora is a shrub of considerable medicinal and ecological importance. Although a chromosome-scale nuclear genome assembly is available for this species, the mitochondrial (mt) genome remains uncharacterized, which has significantly restricted more comprehensive genomic and evolutionary studies of this species.

resultsUsing PacBio HiFi sequencing, we assembled the circular mt genome of P. uniflora, which spanned 328,095 bp and contained 35 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 18 tRNA genes, and 3 rRNA genes. Further analyses were conducted to characterize the mt genome, including assessments of codon usage, repeat sequences, and selective pressure. The results revealed an abundance of short repetitive sequences and preferential use of A/T-ending codons. The codon usage bias observed in PCGs appeared to be influenced by natural and artificial selection. In addition, 20 large fragments were identified as having been transferred from chloroplast genome to the mt genome. Collinearity analysis of the mt genome across Rosaceae species revealed a close relationship among P. uniflora, Prunus padus, and Prunus cerasus. Phylogenetic analyses using both maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference methods further clarified the evolutionary position of P. uniflora.

conclusionThis study presents the first mt genome assembly for the genus Prinsepia and provides a valuable genomic resource for future molecular research on this genus. Our study provides key insights into evolutionary relationships with the Rosaceae family.
