Comparative mitochondrial genome architecture and nuclear mitochondrial DNA (NUMT) landscapes in stink bugs of the family Pentatomidae.
Article in Functional & integrative genomics, 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
Pentatomidae stink bugs comprise ecologically diverse lineages, including predatory and phytophagous taxa, yet comparative data on their mitochondrial genome architecture and nuclear mitochondrial DNA segments (NUMTs) remain limited. Here, we report a high-quality mitochondrial genome assembly for the predatory stink bug Eocanthecona furcellata (Asopinae) and conduct comparative analyses with the predatory Arma custos (Asopinae) and the phytophagous Nezara viridula (Pentatominae). The mitochondrial genome of E. furcellata exhibits the typical insect gene complement and conserved organization, including canonical protein-coding genes, rRNAs and tRNAs, with nucleotide composition and codon usage patterns consistent with other pentatomids. We identified a conservative set of high-confidence NUMTs in the E. furcellata nuclear genome and characterized their genomic distribution and flanking gene contexts. Transcriptomic comparisons between early instar nymphs and adults of E. furcellata revealed stage-associated differences in the expression of mitochondrial function-related genes. Comparative analyses across E. furcellata, A. custos, and N. viridula suggested broadly conserved mitochondrial genome organization, alongside lineage-associated variation in nucleotide composition, NUMT distribution, and curated orthologous genes involved in core mitochondrial energy metabolism. Together, this study provides foundational genomic resources and a comparative framework for understanding mitochondrial genome evolution and NUMT dynamics in Pentatomidae. Future studies incorporating congeneric species and phylogenetically matched sampling designs will be necessary to disentangle lineage effects from ecological divergence.
