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 cultivation and domestication of roses reflects cultural exchanges and shifts in aesthetics that have resulted in today's most popular ornamental plant group. However, the narrow genetic foundation of cultivated roses limits their further improvement. Wild Rosa species harbour vast genetic diversity, yet their utilization is impeded by taxonomic confusion. Here we generated a phased and gap-free reference genome of Rosa persica for phylogenetic and population genomic analyses of a large collection of Rosa samples. The robust nuclear and plastid phylogenies support most of the morphology-based traditional taxonomy of Rosa. Population genomic analyses disclosed potential genetic exchanges among sections, indicating the northwest and southwest of China as two independent centres of diversity for Rosa. Analyses of domestication traits provide insights into selection processes related to flower colour, fragrance, double flower and resistance. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of rose domestication and lays a solid foundation for future re-domestication and innovative breeding efforts using wild resources.
