Exploring the mitochondrial genomes of the Indian dhole and wolf: a phylogenetic and conservation perspective.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
India harbours two ecologically and evolutionarily significant canids: the dhole and wolf. Both species are increasingly threatened by habitat fragmentation, declining prey availability, and anthropogenic pressures. Despite their conservation importance, the complete mitochondrial genome structure and organization of the Indian dhole and wolf have remained unreported. In this study, we characterized the structure and organization of the complete mitochondrial genomes of the Indian dhole and wolf for the first time in order to examine their genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships. The mitochondrial genome measured 16,754 bp in the Indian dhole and 16,727 bp in the Indian wolf. Both species showed conserved gene content and organization, including 22 tRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, and a control region. Maximum parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses consistently recovered the dhole as a well-supported monophyletic clade in which the two Indian dhole samples clustered together and were clearly separated from the Chinese dhole. The Indian wolf formed a well-supported distinct clade within the Canis lupus complex. The distinct phylogenetic placement of the Indian dhole and wolf emphasizes their evolutionary significance and conservation relevance. The mitochondrial genome resources generated in this study provide a foundation for future population and comparative genomic analyses of these threatened canids.
