Mitogenomic Characterization and Phylogenetic Expansion of Tribe Coccinellini (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae).
Article in Ecology and evolution, 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
Coccinellidae (Coleoptera) is a large and ecologically important beetle family, widely recognized for its members' role as natural enemies of agricultural pests. Within this family, the tribe Coccinellini is of particular significance because it includes many dominant predatory species used in biological control programs and exhibits notable ecological and trophic diversity. Despite their ecological and taxonomic importance, evolutionary relationships within Coccinellini remain unresolved because previous studies relied on limited molecular markers or morphology. In this study, we report nine complete mitochondrial genomes of Coccinellini species, estimated divergence time to place to their evolutionary diversification and present a comprehensive analysis of the features of these newly sequenced mitochondrial genomes. The newly sequenced mitogenomes contain the typical 37 genes (13 PCGs, two rRNAs, and 22 tRNAs) and a non-coding control region, and are arranged in the same order as that of the putative ancestor of beetles. The average A + T content of all nine mitogenomes is 78.2%. The calculated values of relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU) determine codons UUA (L), UCU (S2), and CCU (P) have the highest frequency in all nine mitogenomes. Furthermore, combining 58 available mitogenomes, we reconstructed the tribe's phylogeny and resolved the taxonomic status of the studied species. Our phylogenetic analyses confirm the taxonomic placement of all the newly sequenced species within Coccinellini and support the monophyly of Coccinellini (Bootstrap support ≥ 70%, posterior probability ≥ 0.97). The tribe Coccinellini was resolved into four major clades with the following relationship: (Clade D, (Clade C, (Clade B, Clade A))). The mycophagous genera
