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
backgroundPlant mitochondrial genomes exist and function in a special way, this third-kind genetic material is essential for plant growth and development. However, its complex and highly variable genome structure leads to a poor understanding compared with chloroplasts. Especially Phoebe bournei (Magnoliaceae), an indigenous species of China, showcases a profusion of metabolites and excellent wood properties with long growth cycle to maturity.
resultsWith the help of HiFi sequencing, we obtained new insights of their structure and variations. We initially curated the complete reference mitochondrial genome for P. bournei, a 775 Kb two-circle merged main physical map. These unequal circles exhibited a simplification trend through one long lateral repeat region, with a whole GC content of 47.09%. Conserved 43 protein coding genes were annotated and evenly distributed in the two genome rings. COX-3-ATP8-CYTB gene synteny events were found in P. bournei and M. biondii, others in Lauraceae were randomly shuffled by recombinant fragment due to rapid reorganization. Aberrant selective pressure occurred for ccmB, Ka/Ks more than 1 in Magnoliids and around 2.5 in representative angiosperms. Mitogenome genes bore a greater burden of pressure compared to genes in those of chloroplasts. Comparisons of consistent sequences revealed significant large-scale and inclined rearrangements within both cytoplasmic and nuclear genomes. Furthermore, the identification of lateral transfers from chloroplast to mitochondrial genome highlighted the consistent capture of functional genes such as petN. Besides, transferred sequences displayed chromosomal preference in nuclear genome.
conclusionsBased on the first report of a simple multi-circular conformation of the P. bournei mitogenome, our results may provide a primary foundation for the evolution of Magnoliids and further application in the tree breeding.
