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

Annona squamosa, also known as custard apple, is an emerging fruit crop with medicinal significance. We constructed a high-quality genome of A. squamosa along with transcriptome data to gain insights into its phylogeny, evolution, and demographic history. The genome has a size of 730.4 Mb with an N50 value of 93.2 Mb assembled into seven pseudochromosomes. The demographic history showed a continuous decline in the effective population size of A. squamosa. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that magnoliids were sister to eudicots. Genome syntenic and Ks distribution analyses confirmed the absence of a recent whole-genome duplication event in the A. squamosa. Gene families related to photosynthesis, oxidative phosphorylation, and plant thermogenesis were found to be highly expanded in the genome. Comparative analysis with other magnoliids revealed the adaptive evolution in the genes of flavonoid biosynthesis pathway, amino sugar, nucleotide sugar and sucrose metabolism, conferring medicinal value, and enhanced hexose sugar accumulation. In addition, we performed genome-wide identification of SWEET genes. Our high-quality genome and evolutionary insights of this emerging fruit crop, thus, serve as a valuable resource for advancing studies in functional genomics, evolutionary biology, and crop improvement.
