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

Cyclocarya paliurus, a rare Chinese endemic known as the "sweet tea tree," possesses significant hypoglycemic properties and holds dual status as both a traditional health beverage and an approved novel food ingredient. Despite extensive phytochemical research, its complete mitochondrial genome remained uncharacterized. This study reports the first assembly and annotation of the Cyclocarya paliurus mitogenome using PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing. The mitochondrial genome consists of two circular molecules (398,659 bp and 355,751 bp), featuring a stable GC content (~ 45%) and ranking among the largest within the Juglandaceae. Genome annotation revealed 75 functional genes, including 45 PCGs, 26 tRNAs, and 3 rRNAs. With the elevated tRNA count suggesting specialized roles in translational regulation. Predicted RNA editing identified 616 sites, predominantly causing hydrophilic-to-hydrophobic substitutions, while codon usage analysis confirmed a strong A/T-end bias. Repetitive sequence analysis uncovered abundant SSRs and dispersed repeats, including a remarkable 105-kb forward repeat implicated in genome expansion via repeat-mediated recombination. Selective pressure analysis indicated predominant purifying selection across PCGs, ccmBas showing signatures of positive selection. Phylogenomic reconstruction robustly placed Cyclocarya paliurus within the Juglandaceae, while collinearity analysis revealed extensive genomic rearrangement relative to Juglans species. Furthermore, 30 homologous fragments and two intact genes (nad1, matR) were identified between the mitogenome and plastome, evidencing intracellular gene transfer. This study provides the first comprehensive characterization of the Cyclocarya paliurus mitochondrial genome, offering essential genomic resources for molecular marker development, phylogenetic studies, and elucidation of bioactive metabolites pathways.
