The Genome of Apera spica-venti: A Major Grass Weed.

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
Apera spica-venti (loose silky bent, or common windgrass) is a diploid grass-weed endemic to Europe and north Asia that has spread to the United States and Canada. This species has become a major grass weed in winter cereals, especially in eastern Europe mainly through the evolution of target site and nontarget site resistance mechanisms. The scientific community currently lacks genomic resources to understand herbicide resistance evolution in this plant and therefore resistance is hard to diagnose and treat. To remedy this, we generated two reference haplome assemblies through phased genome assembly. Haplome 1 consists of 37 scaffolds with a total length of 4.06 Gbp and an N50 of 206.5 Mbp, while haplome 2 resulted in 34 scaffolds with a total length of 3.99 Gbp and an N50 of 270.1 Mbp. Both haplomes represent over 87% of the flow cytometry estimated genome size of 4.622 Gbp per 1C. Gene annotation was performed via a modified Maker pipeline resulting in 44,208 and 43,844 genes for haplomes 1 and 2, respectively, and capturing 90% of BUSCO annotated transcripts. Repeat analysis identified greater than 800,000 transposon elements spanning 2.3 Gbp of the genome and an average distance between genes of over 90 kbp. This reference genome addresses the lack of genomic resources and aims to better understand basic weed biology, ecology, and herbicide resistance evolution.
