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

Over the past decade, phylogenomics has significantly enhanced our understanding of relationships among numerous angiosperm lineages. However, comprehensive phylogenetic studies combining broad sampling of both genomic sequences and taxa within the nettle family (Urticaceae) are still lacking. Here, we reconstructed the phylogeny of Urticaceae (345 species across 89% of accepted genera) using concatenated and coalescent analyses from plastome and nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences. Different plastid datasets and tree inference methods yielded a consistent phylogenetic backbone, with 98% of nodes achieving > 90% bootstrap support - a significant improvement compared to 54% of nodes in the latest published phylogenetic study of Urticaceae. Plastid and nuclear phylogenetic relationships were largely congruent, with several exceptions that warrant further study. In the context of the updated phylogenetic relationships, we propose dividing the family into seven tribes that correspond to seven major clades or subclades, including a newly established tribe, Sarcochlamydeae
