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

MAIN

conclusionWe report the genome assembly of P. cochinchinensis, as the first high-quality chromosome-level genome of Phyllanthaceae which is rich in medicinal plants. Phyllanthus cochinchinensis, a member of the Phyllanthaceae, is one of the famous medicinal plants in South China. Here, we report a de novo chromosome-level genome assembly for P. cochinchinensis using a combination of Nanopore and Illumina sequencing technologies. In total, the assembled genome consists of 284.88 Mb genomic sequences with a contig N50 of 10.32 Mb, representing ~ 95.49% of the estimated genome size. By applying Hi-C data, 13 pseudochromosomes of P. cochinchinensis were constructed, covering ~ 99.87% of the assembled sequences. The genome is annotated with 59.12% repetitive sequences and 20,836 protein-coding genes. Whole-genome duplication of P. cochinchinensis is likely shared with Ricinus communis as well as Vitis vinifera. Homologous genes within the flavonoid pathway for P. cochinchinensis were identified and copy numbers and expression level of related genes revealed potential critical genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis. This study provides the first whole-genome sequence for the Phyllanthaceae, confirms the evolutionary status of Phyllanthus from the genomic level, and provides foundations for accelerating functional genomic research of species from Phyllanthus.
