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

backgroundQuercus, as the most abundant and widely distributed genus within the family Fagaceae, has been extensively studied at nuclear genome and plastome. However, mitogenome studies in Quercus remain scarce. In this study, we assemble and annotate the mitogenome of Quercus gilva based on Illumina and Nanopore data. Additionally, we explore the structural features of its mitogenome and provide comprehensive analyses of the phylogeny and evolution of Fagaceae.

resultsThe Q. gilva mitogenome consists of four molecules (three circular molecules and one linear molecule) with 490,015 bp in total length and 45.68% in guanine-cytosine (GC) content. The mitogenome encodes 59 genes, including 37 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 19 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and three ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs). We also examine the repeat sequences, codon usage bias, RNA editing sites, and endosymbiotic gene transfer in the mitogenome. The wide distribution of repeat sequences is a key factor in mitogenome rearrangement. These is widespread gene transfer among the mitogenome, plastome, and nuclear genome of Q. gilva. Comparative genomic analyses of the 11 Fagaceae mitogenomes reveal significant structural variations in size and gene loss. Synteny analysis further indicates extensive genome rearrangements and inversions within the 11 mitogenomes. However, analyses of nucleotide diversity (Pi) and nonsynonymous and synonymous substitution ratio (Ka/Ks) values reveal a low rate of evolution in the mitogenomes of Fagaceae. Finally, phylogenetic analysis based on 12 conserved mitochondrial PCGs of 40 taxa strongly supports the classification of Fabids.

conclusionsIn this study, the mitogenome of Q. gilva is newly assembled, providing important genomic resources for the phylogeny, resource conservation and development of Quercus. At the same time, the study of structural variation among the mitogenomes of Fagaceae species also help to elucidate the formation mechanism of mitogenome structural diversity.
