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 multi-petal "Hutou" jasmine (Jasminum sambac var. Trifoliatum) is highly valued for bonsai cultivation and landscape design, however, the aroma profile and mechanisms underlying floral scent formation remain elusive. In this study, we generate a nearly complete telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome assembly of "Hutou" jasmine (487.45 Mb with contig N50 of 38.93 Mb). Metabolomic profiling unveils that 16 significantly differential volatiles (SDVs) may play a crucial role in the formation of flower aroma. Among them, five scented SDVs, particularly α-farnesene and pentanoic acid 1-ethenyl-1,5-dimethyl-4-hexenyl ester, contribute to the characteristic aroma profile of "Hutou" jasmine flowers. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) identifies HTWRKY41, HTWRKY53, and HTHSP90 as the hub genes potentially regulating the production of these 16 metabolites. The expression of selected genes and duplication events drive the increased relative content of major sesquiterpenoids in terpenoid biosynthetic pathway. Four structural genes (BEAT3, BSMT1, BPBT2, and BPBT3) are potentially implicated in the emission of downstream key volatile esters (benzyl acetate, methyl benzoate, and benzyl benzoate) in the phenylpropanoids synthesis. Our integrated dataset of genomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics present here provides a theoretical basis for the practical utilization of fragrance and genetic improvement in horticultural applications of "Hutou" jasmine.
