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

The genus Cercis L., at the base of the subfamily Cercidoideae of Fabaceae, is known for its ecological adaptability and significant medicinal, ornamental, and economic value. However, the lack of a high-quality genome hinders the understanding of the evolution of Cercis and Fabaceae. In this study, we present a chromosome-level genome of Cercis chuniana by combining Illumina short reads, PacBio HiFi long reads, and Hi-C data. The final genome size is 355.53 Mb, consisting of 12 contigs with a N50 of 42.34 Mb. Notably, 344.24 Mb, corresponding to 96.82% of the genome, was anchored to seven chromosomes. The assembly comprises 24.83% repetitive sequences, including 19.32% long terminal repeats. Additionally, a total of 33,837 protein-coding genes were predicted in the genome, with 32,709 (96.67%) genes successfully annotated. The high-quality genome assembly of C. chuniana not only bridges the existing gap in genomic data and offers important resources for molecular studies of this species, but also provides essential insights for future studies on speciation, functional and comparative genomics within the Fabaceae family.
