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 ancient Overland Silk Road connected distant regions through commerce and movement, enabling large-scale dispersal of domesticated animals alongside goods. However, the evolutionary and demographic trajectories of domestic camels, vital transport animals within this trade network, remain poorly understood due to a scarcity of paleogenomic data. In the present study, complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) and low-coverage nuclear genomes were obtained from three
