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

Nicotiana tabacum is an allotetraploid hybrid of Nicotiana sylvestris and Nicotiana tomentosiformis and a model organism in genetics. However, features of subgenome evolution, expression coordination, genetic diversity and complex traits regulation of N. tabacum remain unresolved. Here we present chromosome-scale assemblies for all three species, and genotype and phenotypic data for 5,196 N. tabacum germplasms. Chromosome rearrangements and epigenetic modifications are associated with genome evolution and expression coordination following polyploidization. Two subgenomes and genes biased toward one subgenome contributed unevenly to complex trait variation. Using 178 marker-trait associations, a reference genotype-to-phenotype map was built for 39 morphological, developmental and disease resistance traits, and a novel gene regulating leaf width was validated. Signatures of positive and polygenic selection during the process of selective breeding were detected. Our study provides insights into genome evolution, complex traits regulation in allotetraploid N. tabacum and the use of GeneBank-scale resources for advancing genetic and genomic research.
