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

Rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is the primary source of natural rubber and economically important. We present the haplotype-resolved, telomere-to-telomere, gap-free genome assembly of the cultivar CATAS 7-33-97, with both haplotypes containing complete telomeric and centromeric regions. Structural variations, including a 32.71 Mb inversion on chromosome 8, are identified. The fully assembled 36 chromosomes enable comprehensive identification of rubber biosynthesis genes and their allele-specific expression. By integrating transcriptomic and metabolomic data, we reconstruct the rubber biosynthesis pathway and confirm the mevalonate (MVA) pathway as the major carbon source for rapid latex regeneration during tapping. Jasmonic acid (JA) plays a key role in promoting rubber yield by enhancing biosynthetic activity in response to mechanical wounding. We propose a model where JA-induced myelocytomatosis proteins 2 activate mevalonate kinase 1 expression, boosting MVA synthesis and rubber production. These findings provide insights into rubber tree genomics and its molecular response to tapping.
