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

The sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), belonging to the Asteraceae family, is the world's fourth most important oil crop. Sunflower cultivars are categorized into oilseed and confectionery types. Here, we present chromosome-level genome assemblies of two Chinese sunflower cultivars-oilseed and confectionery-using PacBio HiFi and Hi-C sequencing. The oilseed cultivar, OXS, has a genome assembly spanning 3.03 Gb with 99.58% of sequences anchored to 17 chromosomes and a contig N50 length of 154.78 Mb. The first published confectionery cultivar genome, YDS, mirrors this closely with a 3.02 Gb assembly, contig N50 length of 153.87 Mb and 99.40% of sequences mapped similarly. Gene completeness reached 98.2% for OXS and 98.4% for YDS, with LTR Assembly Index scores of 24.73 and 25.85, respectively. Comparative genomics identified rapidly evolving gene families linked to synthesis, growth, and stress defense. Additionally, we found high collinearity between the YDS and OXS genomes, despite three significant inversions, and detected 15,056 large deletions and insertions. These findings lay a robust foundation for advanced genomic research and breeding innovations in sunflowers.
