Complete chloroplast-based analysis reveals the emergence of candidate new species and revised divergence time in Vincetoxicum.
Article in Genes & genomics, 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
backgroundThe taxonomic understanding of Vincetoxicum remains unresolved due to the lack of genetic information for Vincetoxicum inamoenum. Vincetoxicum sp. was recently identified as a morphologically distinct putative new species related to V. inamoenum, increasing the necessity for a more accurate reconstruction of the taxonomic history of Vincetoxicum based on molecular and phylogenetic evidence from V. inamoenum and V. sp.
objectiveTo assemble the complete chloroplast genomes of V. inamoenum and V. sp., elucidate their genetic divergence from 12 Vincetoxicum species, and determine the phylogenetic relationship and divergence time of the candidate new species of Vincetoxicum.
methodsComplete chloroplast genomes of V. inamoenum and V. sp. were assembled. Repeat sequences, nucleotide diversity, and selective pressure between V. inamoenum and V. sp. were analyzed using 12 previously reported Vincetoxicum species. Phylogenetic analysis was performed to determine the phylogenetic position and divergence time.
resultsThe chloroplast genomes of V. inamoenum and V. sp. were 160,787 and 160,849 base pairs long, respectively. Highly variable regions were identified between the two Vincetoxicum species (accD-psaI) and among the 14 Vincetoxicum species (trnH-psbA). The psaI, rpl33 and ycf2 genes exhibited positive selection. The phylogenetic tree showed that V. inamoenum and V. sp. formed a sister group and reconstructed the phylogenetic relationships within Vincetoxicum. Divergence time estimation indicated that V. inamoenum and V. sp. diverged approximately 1.182 million years ago (95% Highest Posterior Density: 0.181-2.751).
conclusionsDistinct genetic differences and divergence time indicate that V. sp. is a putative new species and provide a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of the genomic diversity and phylogenetic insight into Vincetoxicum.
