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

backgroundGypsophila Radix (Chinese: ShanYin ChaiHu) is a traditional Chinese medicine derived from the dried roots of three Caryophyllaceae species: Silene jenisseensis, Arenaria juncea, and Gypsophila licentiana. Clinically, it is used as an adjuvant therapy for hepatic fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B. However, no reports have yet described the chloroplast genomes of these species. This study aimed to sequence and characterize the chloroplast genomes of these three species and to explore their phylogenetic relationships within Caryophyllaceae.

methodsThe complete chloroplast genomes of S. jenisseensis, A. juncea, and G. licentiana were sequenced and annotated. Comparative genomic analyses were performed among these species and with representative members of the same family to identify genomic variation, simple sequence repeats (SSRs), and repetitive sequences.

resultsThe chloroplast genome of S. jenisseensis, G. licentiana and A. juncea were 161,759 bp, 152,676 bp, and 134,812 bp in length, respectively, showing considerable size variation. A. juncea contained 46 SSRs and 16 repetitive sequences; G. licentiana contained 83 SSRs and 47 repetitive sequences; while, S. jenisseensis had the highest numbers, with 125 SSRs and 50 repetitive sequences, Phylogenetic analysis revealed that these three newly sequenced chloroplast genomes formed well supported subgroups within their respective genera: Silene, Gypsophila, and Arenaria, confirming the monophyly of these genera.

conclusionsThe comparative analysis of repetitive sequence and SSRs provide valuable insights for developing chloroplast genome-based markers. This study enriches the chloroplast genomic resources of Caryophyllaceae and lays a foundation for species identification, evolution studies and the genetic resource utilization of Caryophyllaceae.
