The polycyclic mitochondrial genome of Angraecum sesquipedale mediated by intricate repetitive and diverse sequence compositions.
Article in BMC plant biology, 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
backgroundAngraecum sesquipedale (DC.) Danser (commonly called Darwin's orchid) is an ornamental horticultural wild plant with ecological, economic, and evolutionary research value. While its chloroplast and nuclear genome sequence have been reported, the mitochondrial genome research remains absent. To analyze the genetic variation foundation of Darwin's orchid at the genomic level, this study utilizes genomic data of 45.38 Gigabase Illumina and 36.79 Gigabase PacBio HiFi sequencing in CNCB (PRJCA030186), to decipher the mitochondrial genome structure, composition, and sequence variation patterns of this plant.
resultsHerein, the A. sesquipedale mitochondrial genome length was 711,372 bp, composing of 14 circular DNAs and including 38 protein-coding, 30 tRNA, three ribosomal RNA genes, and two pseudo-genes. Its sub-mitochondrial genome length ranges among Circle 1 and Circle 14 were from 23,873 bp to 105,231 bp, and the GC content ranges from 39.22% to 44.41%, respectively. In total, 216 SSR, 103 tandem, and 1019 dispersed repeats are discriminated. RNA editing site prediction revealed 709 RNA editing events. Codon usage analysis indicated a preference for A/T (U) codon ending. Intergenomic DNA transfer was identified in all of the 14 chromosomes, with chloroplast DNA transfer fragments accounting for 11.03% of the mitochondrial genome. Comparative analysis showed that GC content is conserved, but their structure, size, and gene content of mitochondrial genome chromosomes vary significantly. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Hygrochilus parishii clustered with A. sesquipedale, indicating that the two were closely related. The relationship is agreement with the evolutionary history and taxonomic status of Darwin's Orchid. Compared to the A. sesquipedale mitochondrial genomes and other reported Orchidaceae plants, the mitochondrial genome of Darwin's Orchid has lost three ribosomal protein-coding genes and sdh3.
conclusionThe mitochondrial genome characteristics and phylogenetic evolution relationship of Darwin's orchid were analyzed, providing a reference basis for enhancing germplasm identification, resource diversity development, utilization, and new variety breeding research.
