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

backgroundThe subtribe Pleurothallidinae is a diverse group within Orchidaceae with a complex taxonomic history. Comparative plastome analysis can provide insights into genome evolution and facilitate phylogenetic reconstruction.

methodsHere we analyzed 25 complete chloroplast genomes representing 15 genera, including 14 newly assembled genomes, to investigate plastome evolution in this subtribe.

resultsAll genomes exhibited the typical quadripartite structure (148, 246-158, 138 bp) with conserved gene content (128-134 genes). While most protein-coding genes were under purifying selection, we detected signatures of positive selection in specific lineages. Notably,

conclusionsThese findings expand plastome resources for Pleurothallidinae, reveal lineage-specific patterns of selection, and provide molecular markers for future taxonomic and evolutionary studies.
