The Chromosome-Scale Genome of Melon Dissects Genetic Architecture of Important Agronomic Traits.
Article in iScience, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 15 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
Comparative and evolutionary genomics analyses are the powerful tools to provide mechanistic insights into important agronomic traits. Here, we completed a chromosome-scale assembly of the "neglected" but vital melon subspecies Cucumis melo ssp. agrestis using single-molecule real-time sequencing, Hi-C, and an ultra-dense genetic map. Comparative genomics analyses identified two targeted genes, UDP-sugar pyrophosphorylase and α-galactosidase, that were selected during evolution for specific phloem transport of oligosaccharides in Cucurbitaceae. Association analysis of transcriptome and the DNA methylation patterns revealed the epigenetic regulation of sucrose accumulation in developing fruits. We constructed the melon recombinant inbred lines to uncover Alkaline/Neutral Invertase (CINV), Sucrose-Phosphatase 2 (SPP2), α-galactosidase, and β-galactosidase loci related to sucrose accumulation and an LRR receptor-like serine/threonine-protein kinase associated with gummy stem blight resistance. This study provides essential genomic resources enabling functional genomics studies and the genomics-informed breeding pipelines for improving the fruit quality and disease resistance traits.
