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 Oshima cherry (Cerasus speciosa), which is endemic to Japan, has significant cultural and horticultural value. In this study, we present a near complete telomere-to-telomere genome assembly for C. speciosa, derived from the old growth "Sakurakkabu" tree on Izu Oshima Island. Using Illumina short-read, PacBio long-read, and Hi-C sequencing, we constructed a 269.3 Mbp genome assembly with a contig N50 of 32.0 Mbp. We examined the distribution of repetitive sequences in the assembled genome and identified regions that appeared to be centromeric. Detailed structural analysis of these putative centromeric regions revealed that the centromeric regions of C. speciosa comprised repetitive sequences with monomer lengths of 166 or 167 bp. Comparative genomic analysis with Prunus sensu lato genome revealed structural variations and conserved syntenic regions. This high-quality reference genome provides a crucial tool for studying the genetic diversity and evolutionary history of Cerasus species, facilitating advancements in horticultural research and the preservation of this iconic species.
