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

Plastomes are widely used in plant systematics and also retain signals of structural evolution. In this study, we investigated plastome evolution in the subfamily Aurantioideae of Rutaceae, focusing on structural variation at the LSC-IR boundary regions, putative pseudogenization of plastid genes, plastome-based classification of Citrus, and divergence-time patterns. Comparative analyses revealed substantial structural variation around the rpl22 and rps19 regions at the LSC-IR boundaries and repeated pseudogenization of plastid genes such as rpl22, ycf68, and orf56. Additional lineage-specific sequence disruptions were detected in cemA, ycf15, rps4, and ycf1. Phylogenetic analyses of complete plastomes from 56 Citrus accessions resolved eight major plastome clusters within Citrus. Divergence-time analysis indicated two comparable Asia-Africa splits within Aurantioideae, whereas the divergence between Australian and Asian Citrus lineages was more recent. These results show that plastome evolution in Aurantioideae combines phylogenetically informative sequence variation with recurrent local structural change and provides useful information for classification and evolutionary interpretation in this economically important plant group.
