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

Sauvagesia rhodoleuca is an endangered species endemic to southern China. Due to human activities, only 6 fragmented populations remain in Guangdong and Guangxi. Despite considerable conservation efforts, its demographic history and evolution remain poorly understood, particularly from a genomic perspective. To address this, we assembled a chromosome-scale genome of S. rhodoleuca using Nanopore long-read sequencing, DNA short-read sequencing, RNA-seq, and Hi-C data. A total of 290.37 Mb of assembled sequences, accounting for 99.76% of the genome, were successfully anchored to 19 pseudo-chromosomes, achieving a BUSCO completeness of 98.40% and a long terminal repeat assembly index of 17.28. Genome annotation identified 26,758 protein-coding genes and 369 tRNA genes. Demographic analysis revealed a sharp decline in the effective population size of S. rhodoleuca beginning approximately 1 million years ago. Whole-genome duplication (WGD) analysis revealed that S. rhodoleuca experienced a whole-genome triplication (WGT) followed by a more recent WGD after diverging from the Rhizophoraceae. Genes retained from WGT and WGD events played key roles in the development and survival of S. rhodoleuca, as indicated by Gene Ontology analysis. The high-quality genome of S. rhodoleuca provides insights into its genomic characteristics and evolutionary history, offering a valuable resource for conservation and genetic management.
