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

Chieh-qua is an important cucurbit crop and very popular in South China and Southeast Asia. Despite its significance, its genetic basis and domestication history are unclear. In this study, we have successfully generated a chromosome-level reference genome assembly for the chieh-qua 'A36' using a hybrid assembly strategy that combines PacBio long reads and Illumina short reads. The assembled genome of chieh-qua is approximately 953.3 Mb in size and is organized into 12 chromosomes, with contig N50 of 6.9 Mb and scaffold N50 of 68.2 Mb. Notably, the chieh-qua genome is comparable in size to the wax gourd genome. Through gene prediction analysis, we have identified a total of 24 593 protein-coding genes in the A36 genome. Additionally, approximately 56.6% (539.3 Mb) of the chieh-qua genome consists of repetitive sequences. Comparative genome analysis revealed that chieh-qua and wax gourd are closely related, indicating a close evolutionary relationship between the two species. Population genomic analysis, employing 129 chieh-qua accessions and 146 wax gourd accessions, demonstrated that chieh-qua exhibits greater genetic diversity compared to wax gourd. We also employed the GWAS method to identify related QTLs associated with subgynoecy, an interested and important trait in chieh-qua. The
