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

Parasitic organisms are of interest in evolutionary biology, often displaying drastic modifications in morphology, physiology, genomes, and ecology. These properties, however, make them challenging from a systematics perspective. Mycoheterotrophy, in which plants become non-photosynthetic parasites on fungi, is an excellent example, and this unique life history has evolved numerous times in the orchid family. Here, we focused on
