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 Colletotrichum gloeosporioides species complex (CGSC) is one of the most devastating fungal phytopathogens, and is composed of three main clades: Kahawae, Musae, and Theobromicola. Despite the diversity of CGSC, there is limited understanding on their evolutionary mechanisms. By analysing 49 newly assembled genomes, we found that the expansion of transposable elements, especially long terminal repeat retrotransposons, facilitates the expansion of genome size and genetic variation. In-depth analyses suggested that an intra-chromosomal inversion may have been the driving force behind the divergence of Kahawae clade from its ancestor. Within the Kahawae clade, the narrow-hosted quarantine species C. kahawae has undergone extensive chromosomal rearrangements mediated by repetitive sequences, generating highly dynamic lineage-specific genomic regions compared to the closely related broad-hosted species C. cigarro. The findings of this study highlight the role of chromosomal rearrangements in promoting genetic diversification and host adaptation, and provide new perspectives for understanding the evolution of phytopathogenic fungi.
