Phylogeographic Patterns Are Strongly Associated With Biogeographic Patterns in the Irano-Anatolian Global Biodiversity Hotspot.
Article in Molecular ecology, 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
Biogeographic breaks, that is, shifts in overall species composition, are expected to be associated with phylogeographic breaks because of shared ecological or evolutionary factors operating at both the interspecific and intraspecific level. Here, we test the hypothesis that biogeographic and phylogeographic boundaries are congruent using mountain species of the Iranian Plateau as our model system. To this end, we analysed the genetic structure from RAD-sequencing data of four montane (i.e., mid-elevation) and five alpine plant species endemic to yet widely distributed in the Iranian mountains. Phylogeographic boundaries (breaks) were inferred via the Monmonier maximum difference algorithm and compared to biogeographic breaks identified previously based on floristic data. Major phylogeographic break zones, supported by several montane and alpine species, were identified between Alborz and Zagros as well as between the Azerbaijan Plateau and Zagros (each of those areas corresponding to an area of endemism), thus supporting the biogeography and phylogeography concordance hypothesis. Deviations from this pattern of congruence between biogeographic and phylogeographic breaks mostly concern the presence of additional phylogeographic breaks within areas of endemism. Moreover, the genetic structure is stronger in alpine than in montane species, which can at least partly be attributed to the stronger isolation of high-elevation habitats acting as sky islands.
