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

Urban greening provides important ecosystem services and ideal places for urban recreation and is a serious consideration for municipal decision-makers. Among the tree species cultivated in urban green spaces, Robinia pseudoacacia stands out due to its attractive flowers, fragrances, high trunks, wide adaptability, and essential ecosystem services. However, the genomic basis and consequences of its wide-planting in urban green spaces remains unknown. Here, we report the chromosome-level genome assembly of R. pseudoacacia, revealing a genome size of 682.4 Mb and 33,187 protein-coding genes. More than 99.3% of the assembly is anchored to 11 chromosomes with an N50 of 59.9 Mb. Comparative genomic analyses among 17 species reveal that gene families related to traits favoured by urbanites, such as wood formation, biosynthesis, and drought tolerance, are notably expanded in R. pseudoacacia. Our population genomic analyses further recover 11 genes that are under recent selection. Ultimately, these genes play important roles in the biological processes related to flower development, water retention, and immunization. Altogether, our results reveal the evolutionary forces that shape R. pseudoacacia cultivated for urban greening. These findings also present a valuable foundation for the future development of agronomic traits and molecular breeding strategies for R. pseudoacacia.
