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

Structural variants (SVs) represent a major source of genetic diversity and are related to numerous agronomic traits and evolutionary events; however, their comprehensive identification and characterization in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) have been hindered by the lack of a high-quality pan-genome. Here, we report a graph-based cucumber pan-genome by analyzing twelve chromosome-scale genome assemblies. Genotyping of seven large chromosomal rearrangements based on the pan-genome provides useful information for use of wild accessions in breeding and genetic studies. A total of ~4.3 million genetic variants including 56,214 SVs are identified leveraging the chromosome-level assemblies. The pan-genome graph integrating both variant information and reference genome sequences aids the identification of SVs associated with agronomic traits, including warty fruits, flowering times and root growth, and enhances the understanding of cucumber trait evolution. The graph-based cucumber pan-genome and the identified genetic variants provide rich resources for future biological research and genomics-assisted breeding.
