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

backgroundAconitum is an important medicinal genus widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, which produces types of diterpenoid alkaloids (DA) among different species. We performed whole genome resequencing (WGS) research in Aconitum spp., and wish to find diterpenoid alkaloids related genetic variations.

resultsIn this study, we re-sequenced 150 Aconitum vilmorinianum (A. vilmorinianum) including 102 from the cultivation garden and 48 from the wild, as well as nine wild samples of Aconitum weixiense. The intra-population differentiation of A. vilmorinianum was detected by evolutionary tree and population structure inference. We identify 47 DA biosynthesis genes that might be highly associated with the specialization of DA based on whole-genome resequencing. Of 616 significant SNPs and 105 significant InDels among these genes could be developed as polymorphic molecular markers capable of effectively recognizing A. vilmorinianum from A. weixiense. Furthermore, the significant SNPs and InDels were almost homozygous alternates in A. weixiense, whereas they tended to be homozygous references in the A. vilmorinianum.

conclusionsOur results discussed the difference in genetic background in A. vilmorinianum compared to A. weixiense and these high-quality DA biosynthesis-associated polymorphic locus provided useful genetic information for discrimination of A. vilmorinianum and could serve as a vehicle to study the mechanism of DA differentiation in Aconitum.
