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

backgroundThe Deltocephalinae (Cicadellidae), the largest globally distributed leafhopper subfamily, comprises predominantly pestiferous taxa, though its tribal classification remains unresolved. Insect mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) exhibit conserved composition and moderate evolutionary rates, making them robust markers for phylogenetic reconstruction. Here, we sequenced the mitogenome of Hishimonus sellatus Uhler, a key pest, and performed comparative and phylogenetic analyses of 47 Deltocephalinae species.

resultsThe complete mitogenome of H. sellatus spanned 14,690 bp and comprised 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs). Its gene order was identical to that of ancestral arthropods, and the genes were tightly arranged, with 11 gene overlaps totaling 38 bp. All the PCGs used standard ATN as the start codon, except nad5, which used UUG. 11 PCGs used TAN as the termination codons, but nad4 and nad5 used T. The A + T content of the PCGs was 73.12%, and the most frequently used codons were composed of A and U nucleotides. In addition, each PCG from the N-strand showed a positive GC-skew and a strong negative AT-skew, whereas each PCG from the J-strand displayed a negative GC-skew and a slight AT-skew. The secondary structure of each tRNA was the canonical cloverleaf, except for trnS1(UCU), which lacked the dihydrouridine arm. In total, 46 wobble or mismatched base pairs were detected in 19 tRNA genes. The control region was 253 bp, the shortest among the Deltocephalinae species. The phylogenetic analysis showed that H. sellatus was grouped within the branch of the tribe Opsiini, and the monophyletic clades of the tribes Penthimiini, Selenocephalini, Drabescini, Chiasmini, Paralimnini and Deltocephalini were well resolved and supported.

conclusionThis study identified the currently shortest mitogenome and control region sequences ever reported in Deltocephalinae species, measuring 14,690 bp and 253 bp, respectively. The phylogenetic analyses among Deltocephalinae species well supported that Hishimonus belongs to the tribe Opsiini and the monophyletic groups of tribes Penthimiini, Selenocephalini, Drabescini, Chiasmini, Paralimnini and Deltocephalini, providing valuable insights into their classification and evolutionary status.
