The Metasequoia genome and evolutionary relationships among redwoods.
Article in Plant communications, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Redwood trees (Sequoioideae), including Metasequoia glyptostroboides (dawn redwood), Sequoiadendron giganteum (giant sequoia), and Sequoia sempervirens (coast redwood), are threatened and widely recognized iconic tree species. Genomic resources for redwood trees could provide clues to their evolutionary relationships. Here, we report the 8-Gb reference genome of M. glyptostroboides and a comparative analysis with two related species. More than 62% of the M. glyptostroboides genome is composed of repetitive sequences. Clade-specific bursts of long terminal repeat retrotransposons may have contributed to genomic differentiation in the three species. The chromosomal synteny between M. glyptostroboides and S. giganteum is extremely high, whereas there has been significant chromosome reorganization in S. sempervirens. Phylogenetic analysis of marker genes indicates that S. sempervirens is an autopolyploid, and more than 48% of the gene trees are incongruent with the species tree. Results of multiple analyses suggest that incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) rather than hybridization explains the inconsistent phylogeny, indicating that genetic variation among redwoods may be due to random retention of polymorphisms in ancestral populations. Functional analysis of ortholog groups indicates that gene families of ion channels, tannin biosynthesis enzymes, and transcription factors for meristem maintenance have expanded in S. giganteum and S. sempervirens, which is consistent with their extreme height. As a wetland-tolerant species, M. glyptostroboides shows a transcriptional response to flooding stress that is conserved with that of analyzed angiosperm species. Our study offers insights into redwood evolution and adaptation and provides genomic resources to aid in their conservation and management.
