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

Rhododendron micranthum is an evergreen shrub species widely distributed in China that has high ornamental and medicinal value. However, there is a lack of molecular and genomic data for this plant, which severely restricts the development of its relevant research. The objective of the present study was to conduct a first genomic survey of R. micranthum and determine its whole-genome sequencing scheme. Next-generation sequencing (Illumina Hi-Seq Xten) was used to measure the genome size of R. micranthum, K-mer analysis were employed to investigate its genomic profile. Finally, we conducted bioinformatics methods to performed SSR (simple sequence repeat) prediction based on the genomic data. The genome size of R. micranthum was estimated to be 554.22 Mb. The heterozygosity ratio was 0.93%, and the sequence repeat ratio was calculated to be 49.17%. The clean reads of R. micranthum were assembled into 2281551 scaffolds with a N50 value of 916 bp. A total of 479724 SSR molecular markers were identified in the R. micranthum genome, and 871656 pairs of primers designed for application. Among of them, 100 primer pairs were validated, and 71 primer pairs were successfully amplified. In summary, the R. micranthum genome is complex with high heterozygosity and low repeated sequences. In future whole-genome research in R. micranthum, higher-depth '2+3' (Illumina+PacBio) sequencing may yield better assembly results.
