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

Hamamelidaceae, within the order Saxifragales, comprises 27 genera and approximately 120 species. The family has a pantropical and temperate distribution across the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Australia. Previous molecular investigations, constrained by limited taxon sampling and inadequate genetic markers, supported a five-subfamily classification system. However, these studies predominantly focused on Asian taxa, resulting in poor resolution of the evolutionary relationships among American, African, and Australian genera. To address these sampling gaps, we employed near-complete generic sampling (26 of 27 genera) to investigate plastome architecture, structural variation, and phylogenetic relationships. We newly sequenced and assembled 15 plastid genomes representing geographically and taxonomically underrepresented genera and analyzed them alongside 59 publicly available plastomes retrieved from GenBank. Plastid genomes exhibited conserved quadripartite architecture with sizes ranging from 158, 076 bp to 160, 814 bp, minimal structural variation, consistent GC content (37.7-38.2%), and identical gene order. Inverted repeat (IR) regions had limited size variation (26, 211-26, 429 bp). Simple sequence repeat (SSR) distribution (2, 219 loci) showed no clear correlation with the genus-level phylogenetic relationships. We identified ten hypervariable regions, including coding sequences (
