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

introductionThe domestication of edible mushrooms, including Flammulina filiformis, offers valuable insights into the genetic changes driven by artificial selection. Understanding these changes is crucial for uncovering the mechanisms behind genome evolution in domesticated mushrooms.

objectivesThis study aims to investigate the population structure, genetic diversity, and domestication-related genomic changes in F. filiformis. By comparing the genome sequences of 199 wild and cultivated strains, we aim to elucidate the impact of domestication on F. filiformis.

methodsWe performed de novo genome assembly and gene-based pan-genome analysis on the 199 strains, which included both wild and cultivated strains. We also conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using presence-absence variation (PAV) and SNP data, combined with RNA sequencing, to identify genes associated with domestication traits, such as cap color and stipe length. Gene functional confirmation was achieved through genetic transformation experiments.

resultsOur analysis grouped the strains into four distinct populations, which correlated with varying intensities of artificial selection. The three cultivated populations exhibited smaller genome sizes, fewer genes, lower genetic variation, reduced gene expression diversity, and lower heterozygosity compared to the wild population. The analysis revealed the loss of genes related to the beta-lactam antibiotic catabolic process and specific MAPK pathway genes during domestication, rendering domesticated strains more susceptible to diseases. Four genes closely associated with cap color and stipe length were identified, but genetic transformation experiments confirmed the functional relevance of only two (FfB and FfD) identified through PAV-based GWAS.

conclusionThis study uncovered significant genomic variations between cultivated and wild F. filiformis populations, including the loss of pathogen resistance genes during domestication. We also identified key genes linked to cap color and stipe length, demonstrating for the first time the important role of PAV variation in mushroom domestication. These insights provide a foundation for future mushroom breeding and evolutionary research.
