A chromosome-level reference genome of the wax gourd (Benincasa hispida).
Article in Scientific data, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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 wax gourd (Benincasa hispida), the only species in the genus Benincasa, is an important crop native to Asia that has been widely planted for multi-purpose uses. The first wax gourd draft genome was published three years ago, but it was incomplete and highly-fragmented due to data and technical limitations. Herein, we report a new chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation of B. hispida. We generated 974.87 Mb of unitigs with N50 size of 2.43 Mb via a hybrid assembly strategy by using PacBio long reads and Illumina short reads. We then joined them into scaffolds with Hi-C data, resulting 1862 scaffolds with a total length of 975.62 Mb, and 94.92% of the length (926.05 Mb) is contained in the 12 largest scaffolds corresponding to the 12 chromosomes of B. hispida. We predicted 37,092 protein-coding genes, and 85.05% of them were functionally annotated. This chromosome-level reference genome provides significant improvement to the earlier version of draft genome and would be valuable resource for research and molecular breeding of the wax gourd.
