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

Hemerocallis citrina Borani (huang hua cai in Chinese) is an important horticultural crop whose flower buds are widely consumed as a delicious vegetable in Asia. Here we assembled a high-quality reference genome of H. citrina using single-molecule sequencing and Hi-C technologies. The genome assembly was 3.77 Gb and consisted of 3183 contigs with a contig N50 of 2.09 Mb, which were further clustered into 11 pseudochromosomes. A larger portion (3.25 Gb or 86.20%) was annotated as a repetitive content and 54,295 protein-coding genes were annotated in the genome. Genome evolution analysis showed that H. citrina experienced a recent whole-genome duplication (WGD) event at ~15.73 million years ago (Mya), which was the main factor leading to many multiple copies of orthologous genes. We used this reference genome to predict 20 genes involved in the rutin biosynthesis pathway. Moreover, our metabolomics data revealed neither colchicine nor its precursors in H. citrina, challenging the long-standing belief that this alkaloid causes poisoning by the plant. The results of our disruptive research are further substantiated by our genomic finding that H. citrina does not contain any genes involved in colchicine biosynthesis. The high-quality genome lays a solid foundation for genetic research and molecular breeding of H. citrina.
