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

Orchids constitute one of the most diverse families of angiosperms, yet their genome evolution and diversity remain unclear. Here we construct and analyse chromosome-scale de novo assembled genomes of 17 representative accessions spanning 12 sections in Dendrobium, one of the largest orchid genera. These accessions represent a broad spectrum of phenotypes, lineages and geographical distributions. We first construct haplotype-resolved genomes for a Dendrobium hybrid and uncover haplotypic variations and allelic imbalance in the heterozygous genome, demonstrating the significance of diverse ancestry. At Dendrobium genus-wide scale, we further elucidate phylogenetic relationships, evolutionary dynamics, entire gene repertoire, and the mechanisms of preserving ancient genetic variants and rapid recent genome evolution for habitat adaption. We also showcase distinctive evolutionary trajectories in MADS-box and PEBP families over 28 Ma. These results considerably contribute to unearthing the mystery of orchid origin, evolution and diversification, laying the foundation for efficient use of genetic diversity in breeding.
