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

Diplotaxis ibicensis is a western Mediterranean plant endemic to the Balearic Islands and a small area of the eastern Iberian Peninsula. This study investigates the biogeographical relationships among 16 populations across its entire distribution using two complementary approaches: (i) an ITS-based phylogenetic analysis to reconstruct Diplotaxis species relationships and divergence times, and (ii) phylogenomic and population genomic analyses of D. ibicensis via genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) to assess divergence among populations. The ITS phylogeny supports D. ibicensis as a monophyletic group closely related to the western Mediterranean species D. siettiana, D. brevisiliqua and D. ilorcitana. A time-calibrated tree estimates the most recent common ancestor of these four species in the Pliocene-Pleistocene (3.68-0.77 Ma), well after the Messinian Salinity Crisis (5.96-5.3 Ma). GBS analyses identified six well-supported clades of D. ibicensis individuals, four of them restricted to single islands and the mainland, while two clades contained populations from different islands. These results suggest that rapid long-distance dispersal (LDD) events occurred across permanent marine barriers, followed by secondary colonizations among distant islands, but strong isolation in others. The highest genetic diversity (π) occurs on the island of Ibiza, while the greatest genetic differentiation (F
