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

The chloroplast genome is an integral part of plant genomes in a species along with nuclear and mitochondrial genomes, contributing to adaptation, diversification, and evolution of plant lineages. In the family Caricaceae, only the Carica papaya chloroplast genome and its nuclear and mitochondrial genomes were sequenced, and no chloroplast genome-wide comparison across genera was conducted. Here, we sequenced and assembled the chloroplast genome of Vasconcellea pubescens A.DC. using Oxford Nanopore Technology. The size of the genome is 158,712 bp, smaller than 160,100 bp of the C. papaya chloroplast genome. And two structural haplotypes, LSC_IRa_SSCrc_IRb and LSC_IRa_SSC_IRb, were identified in both V. pubescens and C. papaya chloroplast genomes. The insertion-deletion mutations may play an important role in Ycf1 gene evolution in family Caricaceae. Ycf2 is the only one gene positively selected in the V. pubescens chloroplast genome. In the C. papaya chloroplast genome, there are 46 RNA editing loci with an average RNA editing efficiency of 63%. These findings will improve our understanding of the genomes of these two crops in the family Caricaceae and will contribute to crop improvement.
