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

Although the phylogenetic backbone of Moraceae, an ecologically important angiosperm family in tropical rainforests, has been significantly improved, phylogenetic discordance among nuclear genes and between nuclear and plastid genomes remains common at various phylogenetic depths. However, the patterns and causes of this discordance across the entire family have not been systematically investigated. Here, we reconstructed a comprehensive phylogeny of 319 species of Moraceae using sequences from nuclear and plastid gene datasets to investigate family-wide phylogenetic conflict, identify the evolutionary drivers of conflict, and inform taxonomic revision. Phylogenetic analyses showed general congruence at the section level and above in nuclear datasets, but notable conflicts occurred at several nodes (e.g., Chlorophoreae,
