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

Zoysia sinica is a perennial grass that thrives in intertidal zones, even under extreme waterlogging stress. In this study, we present a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of Z. sinica, with a total size of 312.67 Mb. Through genome annotation, we identified 29,551 protein-coding genes in the Z. sinica genome and re-annotated 32,925, 53,226, and 53,656 genes in the previously reported Zoysia genomes: Zoysia japonica, Zoysia matrella, and Zoysia pacifica, respectively. Genome divergence analysis indicated that the Zoysia species diverged relatively recently, approximately 3.63 million years ago. Comparative genomic analysis revealed an expansion of ethylene response factors and identified Z. sinica-specific genes related to the response to auxin and ethylene. Transcriptome data from intertidal environments with different levels of waterlogging showed significant upregulation of nitrate transporters (NRT2.2 and NRT2.4) in roots and genes involved in suberin biosynthesis in shoots. Additionally, various transporters were responsive to the intertidal environment. Our study provides insights into the intertidal adaptation of Zoysia species and offers a foundation for the development of stress-tolerant cultivars.
