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

Fusarium tricinctum is a globally devastating fungal pathogen associated with root rot disease in alfalfa. The absence of a complete genome sequence has hindered molecular investigations into its pathogenic mechanisms. This study reports the first chromosome-level genome assembly of the virulent F. tricinctum strain MsR-QD66, generated using a combined sequencing strategy integrating Illumina, PacBio HiFi, and Hi-C technologies. The 46.2 Mb assembly (scaffold N50 = 5.1 Mb) comprises 10 chromosomes with Merqury-validated abase accuracy (QV = 34.8, error rate <0.01%). The genome achieved 95.6% completeness according to CEGMA and complete BUSCO scores. This assembly comprises 13,594 protein-coding genes, 336 non-coding RNAs, and a comprehensive repertoire of repetitive elements. Functional annotation identified 1,871 transcription factors and 1,241 secreted proteins. Comparative genomics and virulence factor analyses revealed 527 genes linked to 36 key diseases across diverse hosts. This chromosome-level genome assembly provides a valuable resource for studying molecular mechanisms of F. tricinctum pathogenicity to alfalfa and will facilitate the development of sustainable strategies for managing root rot in alfalfa.
