Insights into the domestication of avocado and potential genetic contributors to heterodichogamy.

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
The domestication history of the avocado (Persea americana) remains unclear. We created a reference genome from the Gwen varietal, which is closely related to the economically dominant Hass varietal. Our genome assembly had an N50 of 3.37 megabases, a BUSCO score of 91%, and was scaffolded with a genetic map, producing 12 pseudo-chromosomes with 49,450 genes. We used the Gwen genome as a reference to investigate population genomics, based on a sample of 34 resequenced accessions that represented the 3 botanical groups of P. americana. Our analyses were consistent with 3 separate domestication events; we estimated that the Mexican group diverged from the Lowland (formerly known as "West Indian") and Guatemalan groups >1 million years ago. We also identified putative targets of selective sweeps in domestication events; within the Guatemalan group, putative candidate genes were enriched for fruit development and ripening. We also investigated divergence between heterodichogamous flowering types, providing preliminary evidence for potential candidate genes involved in pollination and floral development.
