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

Ficus carica L. is an economically important fruit crop widely cultivated in the Mediterranean region. In this study, genetic diversity and population structure were investigated in 72 F. carica genotypes collected from the Derecik and Çukurca regions of Hakkâri province, Türkiye, using 15 highly polymorphic Start Codon Targeted (SCoT) markers. A total of 481 amplification bands were obtained, of which 475 were polymorphic, resulting in a high average polymorphism rate of 98.60%. Genetic diversity indices indicated substantial variation among the genotypes, with a mean effective number of alleles of 1.53, gene diversity of 0.31, and Shannon information index of 0.47. The average genetic distance among genotypes was 0.37, with the highest pairwise distance (0.721) observed between genotypes HC4 and HD7. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed that most genetic variation was distributed within populations (93%), whereas only 7% was among populations. Bayesian STRUCTURE analysis identified two distinct genetic clusters corresponding largely to geographic origin, with 22 genotypes (30.56%) classified as admixed based on a membership coefficient threshold of < 0.70. Principal coordinate analysis (PcoA) clearly separated genotypes according to their sampling locations, where Axis 1 and Axis 2 explained 24.31% and 15.07% of the total genetic variation, respectively. Overall, these findings demonstrate the effectiveness of SCoT markers in assessing genetic diversity and population structure in F. carica germplasm from southeastern Türkiye. Future studies should use codominant markers (SSRs and SNPs) expand geographic sampling, and adopt open data repositories to enhance conservation and breeding strategies.
