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

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oilseed and food legume crop, with seed size and weight being critical traits for domestication and breeding. However, genomic rearrangements like structural variations (SVs) underlying seed size and weight remain unclear. Here we present a comprehensive pangenome analysis utilizing eight high-quality genomes (two diploid wild, two tetraploid wild and four tetraploid cultivated peanuts) and resequencing data of 269 accessions with diverse seed sizes. We identified 22,222 core or soft-core, 22,232 distributed and 5,643 private gene families. The frequency of SVs in subgenome A is higher than in subgenome B. We identified 1,335 domestication-related SVs and 190 SVs associated with seed size or weight. Notably, a 275-bp deletion in gene AhARF2-2 results in loss of interaction with AhIAA13 and TOPLESS, reducing the inhibitory effect on AhGRF5 and promoting seed expansion. This high-quality pangenome serves as a fundamental resource for the genetic enhancement of peanuts and other legume crops.
