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

objectivesMint oils are essential oils with many commercial applications. Mint oils are harvested from peppermint or spearmint plants. Spearmint (Mentha spicata) is an allotetraploid, hybrid between diploid parents Mentha suaveolens (apple mint) and Mentha longifolia (horse mint). Peppermint comes from a second hybridization event between spearmint and octoploid Mentha aquatica (water mint). Here we present a chromosome-scale diploid unphased assembly of a clone of a Mentha longifolia. Combined with the previously assembled M. suaveolens and a previous consensus assembly of a genetically more distant clone of M. longifolia, these assemblies provide valuable tools for trait mapping and understanding the genomic composition of commercial hybrid genomes and their relative contribution to traits important to the mint industry. DATA DESCRIPTION: A two haplotypes Hifiasm assembly of the genome of M. longifolia was generated from 105 x consensus coverage of PacBio long reads. The hifiasm assembly included 346 contigs and exhibited an N50 of 30.5 Mb. Two sets of pseudochromosomes were constructed by comparison to the previously published genome of Mentha suaveolens, resulting in 20 superscaffolds and 8 partial scaffolds, for an overall genome size of 734 Mb. Illumina RNA-Seq libraries from a mixed set of Mentha species were used to annotate the genome.
