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

Hibiscus yunnanensis S.Y. Hu is an endangered species of the genus Hibiscus (Malvaceae), which has high potential economic value. However, the absence of a high-quality reference genome impedes the study of the ecology and molecular biology of H. yunnanensis. Here, we present a high-quality chromosome-level assembly of H. yunnanensis using BGI-DIPSEQ, Nanopore, and Hi-C sequencing. The assembled genome size is 2.2 Gb with a contig N50 of 12.1 Mb and a scaffold N50 of 137.1 Mb. Approximately 99.2% of the assembly is anchored into 17 pseudochromosomes, and a BUSCO analysis indicates a completeness score of 99.6%. Furthermore, we identify 42,085 protein-coding genes, of which 96.4% are functionally annotated. This genome resource provides a foundation for future studies on unique traits, including drought-tolerant, savanna-adapted, and long-flowering traits. Its ability to flower in winter, along with its automatic selfing and lack of delayed inbreeding depression, makes it an excellent model for studying style curvature mechanism and its adaptive significance in the Malvaceae.
