A high-contiguity Brassica nigra genome localizes active centromeres and defines the ancestral Brassica genome.
Article in Nature plants, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 88 papers.
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.
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
It is only recently, with the advent of long-read sequencing technologies, that we are beginning to uncover previously uncharted regions of complex and inherently recursive plant genomes. To comprehensively study and exploit the genome of the neglected oilseed Brassica nigra, we generated two high-quality nanopore de novo genome assemblies. The N50 contig lengths for the two assemblies were 17.1 Mb (12 contigs), one of the best among 324 sequenced plant genomes, and 0.29 Mb (424 contigs), respectively, reflecting recent improvements in the technology. Comparison with a de novo short-read assembly corroborated genome integrity and quantified sequence-related error rates (0.2%). The contiguity and coverage allowed unprecedented access to low-complexity regions of the genome. Pericentromeric regions and coincidence of hypomethylation enabled localization of active centromeres and identified centromere-associated ALE family retro-elements that appear to have proliferated through relatively recent nested transposition events (<1 Ma). Genomic distances calculated based on synteny relationships were used to define a post-triplication Brassica-specific ancestral genome, and to calculate the extensive rearrangements that define the evolutionary distance separating B. nigra from its diploid relatives.
