Rapid loss of plastid
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Introduction: The eleven plastid Methods: Based on a comprehensive sampling of 100 published plastomes representing 60% of Cypripedioideae species, the phylogenetic relationships were revealed on three levels. For family and subfamily levels, 57 and 66 plastid genes, respectively, were extracted and concatenated in Geneious, while for the genus-level phylogeny, complete plastomes were used to calculate a maximum likelihood tree. Additionally, divergence time estimates were performed to illuminate the evolutionary timeframe of the gene loss. The prevalence, pseudogenization and loss of Results: The results confirmed the four analyzed genera of Cypripedioideae to be monophyletic and could increase the resolution within the genera compared to previous studies. The diversification of the subfamily started at about 30 Ma with genus Discussion and conclusions: Recent studies showed that partial myco-heterotrophy (mixotrophy) is far more common in plant lineages than originally assumed. Based on our findings, we suggest that the possibility of a mixotrophic lifestyle within (sub-)tropical slipper orchids should be reevaluated. Further research regarding the reasons behind plastid gene loss in slipper orchids could provide a better understanding of the ecological evolution of Cypripedioideae.
