Period ratios of adjacent transiting planets where the inner planet has a period less than three days and the stellar masses are greater than 0.75 M. The color coding indicates the number of planets transiting in each system. The three (out of 44) USP planets (left of vertical line) with outer companions have period ratios ≳15, while the planets in slightly longer periods have a broader range, including more compact configurations.
