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

Bombax ceiba, an important ornamental tree and potential fiber resource in the textile industry, is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. In this study, we assembled a nearly gap-free telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome of B. ceiba using Illumina, PacBio High-fidelity (HiFi), ONT ultra-long, and Hi-C sequencing technologies. The genome spanned approximately 807.89 Mb, with a scaffold N50 of 16.58 Mb, and 754.68 Mb (93.41%) of genomic sequences were anchored onto 48 pseudo-chromosomes. Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs (BUSCO) analysis revealed a completeness of 99.40%, identifying 1,378 single-copy and 213 duplicated genes out of 1,614. The genome contained 67.72% (547.11 Mb) repeat regions, with 39,708 predicted protein-coding genes. Collectively, our study provides valuable genomic data for investigating the evolutionary history of the Malvaceae family.
