New records of extinct Icacinaceae from Paleocene rainforests of northwestern South America.
Article in American journal of botany, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
premiseThis study describes three new records of Icacinaceae-Punctiuga bachue gen. et sp. nov., Palaeophytocrene paramoae sp. nov., and Goweria bacatana sp. nov. from the Paleocene (Selandian-Thanetian) Bogotá Formation in Colombia-improving understanding of the distribution and evolution of this family in the Neotropics.
methodsWe analyzed 47 fossil endocarps using microscopy and X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT); we also studied the associated leaf assemblage in search of potential Icacinaceae foliage. We then compared the fossils to extant Icacinaceae specimens from herbaria and the existing literature.
resultsPunctiuga bachue features unique morphological traits that resemble and support a close affinity to Iodeae and Phytocreneae. The presence of Palaeophytocrene paramoae confirms Phytocreneae diversity in South America during the Paleocene, and the occurrence of leaves of Icacinaceae contribute to the history of Icacinaceae on the continent.
conclusionsOur results show a previously unacknowledged diversity of Icacinaceae in the Paleocene Neotropics, including two new species of endocarps with affinities to Phytocreneae and Iodeae, clades currently restricted to the Old World tropics. Our findings support an early Paleogene diversification of the family in the Neotropics and the extirpation of tropical lineages in the Neotropics during the later Cenozoic.
