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

Syringa is a crucial shrub genus in the family Oleaceae, which has significant ornamental, economic, and medicinal value. However, research on the chloroplast genome (CPG) phylogeny and lineage diversification of this genus remains limited. In this study, all 15 Syringa CPGs exhibited a characteristic quadripartite structure, with genome lengths ranging from 154,019-158,020 bp. These CPGs were highly conserved and moderately differentiated, each containing 130-132 genes. Analysis of inverted repeat (IR) boundaries indicated structural conservation, with six genes: rps19, rpl2, ycf1, trnN, ndhF, and trnH present at the IR/single-copy (SC) junctions. The small single copy (SSC) region displayed greater sequence variability than the IR regions. ycf1, ndhH, trnL-rpl32, ndhF-ycf1, and rbcL-accD were identified as potential molecular markers and rps11, ycf2, and ycf4 may have contributed to the adaptive evolution of Syringa. Phylogenetic reconstruction based on whole CPG data supported the monophyly of the 15 species, which were divided into three distinct subclades. Molecular dating estimated that Syringa diverged from its sister genus approximately 58 million years ago, with most Syringa species diversifying further approximately 47.49 million years ago during the Eocene. Our findings will hopefully stimulate further studies on this genus that may enhance biodiversity knowledge.
