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

backgroundBletilla striata, a species within the genus Bletilla, holds significant medicinal and ornamental value. For further exploring the organelle of B. striata, the first complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) was assembled and annotated.

resultsThe B. striata mitogenome exhibits a unique multi-chromosomal structure, spanning a total size of 746,435 bp, and contains 63 annotated genes, including 34 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 26 tRNA genes, and 3 rRNA genes. A total of 376 repetitive sequences were identified, with six pairs of repeats potentially meditating homologous recombination. Additionally, we detected 77 homologous segments in the chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes, among which 60 complete genes were further annotated. Phylogenetic analysis showed B. striata in close relation to the Apostasia genus, underscoring its evolutionary position within Orchidaceae.

conclusionThese findings shed light on the mitogenome structure and genetic characteristics of B. striata, offering a foundational framework for future explorations into its evolutionary dynamics.
