1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of two ecologically important stingless bees, Tetragonula gressitti (Sakagami) and T. laeviceps (Smith), were sequenced and analyzed. Both species display the typical insect mitogenome structures but exhibit species-specific structural rearrangements and sequence variation. Their mitogenomes are AT-rich (81.5% and 75.2%, respectively), significantly influencing codon usage patterns. We identified novel features in tRNA and rRNA secondary structures, and observed gene rearrangements that exceed the typical conservatism in Hymenoptera, likely reflecting adaptation to distinct ecological pressures. Phylogenomic analyses robustly place both species within a monophyletic Meliponini clade, distinct from other Apoidea (Apis and Bombus), supporting their current taxonomic placement. These mitogenomes provide valuable resources for Meliponini phylogenetics and may inform conservation and utilization strategies for these species.
