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

Ficus benjamina, the weeping fig, is one of the most widely distributed and cultivated figs, with important ecological functions and landscape value. However, the lack of a reference genome has hindered molecular and functional research on this well-known fig-tree. Here we present a chromosome-scale genome assembly and annotation for F. benjamina, based on a combination of Illumina short-reads, PacBio subreads, and Hi-C sequencing data. The genome consists of 13 pseudochromosomes that contain 362.73 Mb of assembled sequences, with a contig N50 length of 25.76 Mb and a complete BUSCO score of 98.10%. In total, 28,840 protein-coding genes were identified, of which 96.22% were functionally annotated. Our study provides the first chromosome-level genome of F. benjamina, providing an important resource for exploring the genetic basis of its ecological and horticultural characters.
