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

Amorphophallus konjac, belonging to the genus Amorphophallus of the Araceae family, is an economically important crop widely used in health products and biomaterials. In the present work, we performed the whole-genome assembly of A. konjac based on the NovaSeq platform sequence data. The final genome assembly was 4.58 Gb with a scaffold N50 of 3212 bp. The genome includes 39,421 protein-coding genes, and 71.75% of the assemblies were repetitive sequences. Comparative genomic analysis showed 1647 gene families have expanded and 2685 contracted in the A. konjac genome. Likewise, genome evolution analysis indicated that A. konjac underwent whole-genome duplication, possibly contributing to the expansion of certain gene families. Furthermore, we identified many candidate genes involved in the tuber formation and development, cellulose and lignification synthesis. The genome of A. konjac obtained in this work provides a valuable resource for the further study of the genetics, genomics, and breeding of this economically important crop, as well as for evolutionary studies of Araceae family.
