Intraspecific identification of Actinidia eriantha Benth. based on chloroplast genes.
Article in PloS one, 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
objectiveThis study aimed to identify specific DNA barcodes based on the chloroplast genome of Actinidia eriantha Benth. and to utilize these barcodes for the identification of germplasm resources from different geographic origins.
methodsThe chloroplast genome of A. eriantha samples were sequenced using the Illumina NovaSeq PE150 platform. Specific highly variable regions were identified through mVISTA alignment and nucleotide diversity analysis. Haplotypes of samples from various regions were further analyzed based on the selected DNA barcode candidate fragments.
resultsThe complete chloroplast genomes of three A. eriantha from different locations were 156,955-157,100 bp in length and exhibited a typical quadripartite circular structure, with 88 genes annotated in each genome. Comparative analyses with mVISTA and nucleotide diversity indices identified matK, trnK(UUU), ycf1, and the atpH_atpI intergenic spacer as candidate regions for specific DNA barcodes. Among these, trnK(UUU), ycf1, and atpH_atpI were selected for further analysis based on PCR amplification efficiency. Sequencing of these three regions across 223 samples from 21 locations in six provinces revealed 7, 10, and 39 polymorphic sites, respectively, which defined 6, 4, and 6 haplotypes. A combined analysis of the three loci identified 56 polymorphic sites and 12 distinct haplotypes (Hap1-Hap12), with pairwise genetic distances ranging from 0 to 1.96%. Six haplotypes were found to be unique to specific geographic regions, suggesting their potential as molecular markers for tracing the geographic origin of A. eriantha.
conclusionThe chloroplast gene regions trnK(UUU), ycf1, and atpH_atpI, identified through comparative chloroplast genomics, serve as effective DNA barcodes for the intraspecific identification of A. eriantha germplasm. These markers provide a molecular basis for future efforts in geographic origin tracing, germplasm conservation, and breeding of this species.
