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

Ramularia leaf spot has recently emerged as a major threat to barley production world-wide, causing 25% yield loss in many barley growing regions. Here, we provide a new reference genome of the causal agent, the Dothideomycete Ramularia collo-cygni. The assembly of 32 Mb consists of 78 scaffolds. We used RNA-seq to identify 11,622 genes of which 1,303 and 282 are coding for predicted secreted proteins and putative effectors respectively.The pathogen separated from its nearest sequenced relative, Zymoseptoria tritici ∼27 Ma. We calculated the divergence of the two species on protein level and see remarkably high synonymous and nonsynonymous divergence. Unlike in many other plant pathogens, the comparisons of transposable elements and gene distributions, show a very homogeneous genome for R. collo-cygni. We see no evidence for higher selective pressure on putative effectors or other secreted proteins and repetitive sequences are spread evenly across the scaffolds. These findings could be associated to the predominantly endophytic life-style of the pathogen. We hypothesize that R. collo-cygni only recently became pathogenic and that therefore its genome does not yet show the typical pathogen characteristics. Because of its high scaffold length and improved CDS annotations, our new reference sequence provides a valuable resource for the community for future comparative genomics and population genetics studies.
