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

Accurate reference genomes have become indispensable tools for characterization of genetic and functional variations. Here we generated a high-quality assembly of the melon Payzawat using a combination of short-read sequencing, single-molecule real-time sequencing, Hi-C, and a high-density genetic map. The final 12 chromosome-level scaffolds cover ∼94.13% of the estimated genome (398.57 Mb). Compared with the published DHL92 genome, our assembly exhibits a 157-fold increase in contig length and remarkable improvements in the assembly of centromeres and telomeres. Six genes within STHQF12.4 on pseudochromosome 12, identified from whole-genome comparison between Payzawat and DHL92, may explain a considerable proportion of the skin thickness. In addition, our population study showed that melon domesticated at multiple times from whole-genome perspective and melons in China are introduced from different routes. Selective sweeps underlying the genes related to desirable traits, haplotypes of alleles associated with agronomic traits, and the variants from resequencing data enable efficient breeding.
