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

Eukaryotic flagella are evolutionarily conserved organelles that mediate motility, sensory transduction, and environmental adaptation, yet their presence and gene composition vary considerably across algal lineages. Dinoflagellates, a lineage within the superphylum Alveolata, derived from secondary endosymbiosis, exhibit larger and more reorganized genomes than their red-algal relatives and possess a distinctive biflagellate morphology, making them an informative group for studying flagellar evolution. To systematically investigate flagellar gene distribution in this lineage, we performed comparative genomic analyses on 102 genomes spanning four algal groups-Chlorophyta, Rhodophyta, Alveolata (represented by dinoflagellates), and Bacillariophyta. Genomes were selected based on assembly completeness, retaining only those with BUSCO completeness > 50% to balance data quality with taxonomic coverage. Orthologous groups were identified using a reciprocal best BLAST v2.11.0(rBH) strategy, from which we curated 94 conserved flagellar gene families. Quantitative comparisons revealed significant lineage-specific expansions of flagellar gene families within dinoflagellates, including
