Telomere-to-telomere genome of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L., YP4).
Article in GigaScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
backgroundCommon bean is a significant grain legume in human diets. However, the lack of a complete reference genome for common beans has hindered efforts to improve agronomic cultivars.
findingsHerein, we present the first telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome assembly of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L., YP4) using PacBio High-Fidelity reads, ONT ultra-long sequencing, and Hi-C technologies. The assembly resulted in a genome size of 560.30 Mb with an N50 of 55.11 Mb, exhibiting high completeness and accuracy (BUSCO score: 99.5%, quality value (QV): 54.86). The sequences were anchored into 11 chromosomes, with 20 of 22 telomeres identified, leading to the formation of 9 T2T pseudomolecules. Furthermore, we identified repetitive elements accounting for 61.20% of the genome and predicted 29,925 protein-coding genes. Phylogenetic analysis suggested an estimated divergence time of approximately 11.6 million years ago between P. vulgaris and Vigna angularis. Comparative genome analysis revealed the expanded gene families and variations between YP4 and G19833 associated with defense response.
conclusionsThe T2T reference genome and genomic insights presented here are crucial for future genetic studies not only in common bean but also in other legumes.
