Construction and analysis of telomere-to-telomere genomes for 2 sweet oranges: Longhuihong and Newhall (Citrus sinensis).
Article in GigaScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundSweet orange (Citrus sinensis Osbeck) is a fruit crop of high nutritional value that is widely consumed around the world. However, its susceptibility to low-temperature stress limits its cultivation and production in regions prone to frost damage, severely impacting the sustainable development of the sweet orange industry. Therefore, developing cold-resistant sweet orange varieties is of great necessity. Traditional hybrid breeding methods are not feasible due to the polyembryonic phenomenon in sweet oranges, necessitating the enhancement of its germplasm through molecular breeding. High-quality reference genomes are valuable for studying crop resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the lack of genomic resources for cold-resistant sweet orange varieties has hindered the progress in developing such varieties and researching their molecular mechanisms of cold resistance.
findingsThis study integrated PacBio HiFi, ONT, Hi-C, and Illumina sequencing data to assemble telomere-to-telomere (T2T) reference genomes for the cold-resistant sweet orange mutant "Longhuihong" (Citrus sinensis [L.] Osb. cv. LHH) and its wild-type counterpart "Newhall" (C. sinensis [L.] Osb. cv. Newhall). Comprehensive evaluations based on multiple criteria revealed that both genomes exhibit high continuity, completeness, and accuracy. The genome sizes were 340.28 Mb and 346.33 Mb, with contig N50 of 39.31 Mb and 36.77 Mb, respectively. In total, 31,456 and 30,021 gene models were annotated in the respective genomes. Leveraging these assembled genomes, comparative genomics analyses were performed, elucidating the evolutionary history of the sweet orange genome. Moreover, the study identified 2,886 structural variants between the 2 genomes, with several SVs located in the upstream, downstream, or intronic regions of homologous genes known to be associated with cold resistance.
conclusionsThe study de novo assembled 2 T2T reference genomes of sweet orange varieties exhibiting different levels of cold tolerance. These genomes serve as valuable foundational resources for genomic research and molecular breeding aimed at enhancing cold tolerance in sweet oranges. Additionally, they expand the existing repository of reference genomes and sequencing data resources for C. sinensis. Moreover, these genomes provide a critical data foundation for comparative genomics analyses across different plant species.
