Taming the giant: towards a global sectional taxonomy for the big genus Artemisia.
Article in BMC plant biology, 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
backgroundArtemisia is a big genus of significant medicinal, ecological, and economic importance. However, a global sectional taxonomy with complete morphological and nomenclatural details is still lacking despite decades of research.
resultsBased on phylogenomic data (202 nuclear low copy genes plus two ribosomal DNA markers) covering 78% of accepted Artemisia species and morphological evidence (20 characters), we propose a global sectional taxonomy for the genus with morphological and nomenclatural details. This taxonomy accommodates 502 of the 505 accepted species (three remain unplaced owing to insufficient evidence) and recognizes 24 sections in eight subgenera, for which morphological descriptions, diagnostic keys, and nomenclatural acts are provided. Sixteen sections are newly established, and five are re-circumscribed.
conclusionsThis comprehensive sectional taxonomy establishes a robust framework for the infrageneric classification of Artemisia. It resolves long‑standing taxonomic uncertainties and provides a foundation for diverse research-from understanding the evolution and ecology of the genus to guiding the sustainable use of its medicinally and ecologically important species. Moreover, it presents a methodological case for addressing taxonomic complexity in other big plant genera.
