Plastome architecture and maternal relationships of cultivated almond (Prunus dulcis) and its wild relatives.
Article in Planta, 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
MAIN
conclusionPlastome structure and gene content are invariant across almond and its wild relatives; the spacers rpl33-rps18, rps2-rpoC2 and psbB-psbT are the most variable regions and strongest candidate markers for Amygdalus. Almond (Prunus dulcis) is a major tree nut crop whose domestication narrowed its genetic base, whilst its wild relatives retain adaptive diversity. Complete plastomes remain scarce for almond. We sequenced three new plastomes (P. arabica, P. argentea and P. dulcis) from Türkiye and compared them with ten further Prunus plastomes from public reads, giving 13 uniformly annotated genomes rooted on P. persica and P. avium. All had the conserved quadripartite structure (157,756-158,070 bp), GC content near 36.7%, fixed junctions and an identical set of 113 genes: 79 protein-coding, 30 tRNA and 4 rRNA genes, 18 intron-containing. Codon use was A/U-biassed and the plastome repeat-poor, dominated by A/T mononucleotide microsatellites, ycf1 carrying the most cpSSR loci. Across 128 kb of alignment the thirteen plastomes differed at 956 positions (π = 0.0014); six of the nine cultivated accessions, from China to Spain, shared one haplotype, two more lay within six substitutions of it, and only the Iranian accession diverged (180-185 substitutions). The most variable regions, rpl33-rps18, rps2-rpoC2 and psbB-psbT, are nominated as candidate plastid markers. Maximum-likelihood and Bayesian phylogenies, and haplotype network were congruent: P. arabica was the wild plastome, closest to the cultivated cluster, P. argentea, the Iranian accession and P. webbii diverged successively outside it, and a relaxed clock calibrated on the almond-peach split placed these separations within roughly the last five million years. Amongst the sampled accessions, the cultivated plastomes form one tight maternal lineage, consistent with a narrow founder base, though clonal propagation and limited sampling may contribute.
