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

Ditylenchus destructor, commonly known as the potato rot nematode, is a significant plant-parasitic pathogen affecting over 120 plant species globally. Effective control measures for D. destructor are limited, underscoring the need a high-quality reference genome to understand its pathogenic mechanisms. Herein, we combined Illumina short reads, PacBio long reads, and Hi-C mapping technology to construct a chromosome-scale reference genome assembly for D. destructor. The genome assembly totals 133.86 Mb, with 129.51 Mb (96.74%) of sequences anchored onto 4 pseudo-chromosomes, achieving a scaffold N50 of 32.25 Mb. The assembled genome contains 28.14% repeat sequences and identifies 19,165 protein-coding genes, of which 18,444 (96.24%) are functionally annotated. The genome assembly demonstrates a high level of completeness, with 73.8% complete the nematoda-specifc Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs (BUSCO) genes, significantly higher than that of other reported plant-parasitic nematode genomes. This high-quality reference genome will serve as a valuable genomic resource for future research aimed at understanding the pathogenesis of D. destructor and developing effective control strategies.
