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

backgroundIn 2022, a new leaf spot disease caused by a strain of Boeremia exigua (Desm.) Aveskamp was discovered on fully expanded leaves. However, the genomic basis and pathogenic mechanisms of the pathogens responsible for Panax notoginseng leaf spot remain poorly understood. This study reports, for the first time, the complete genome sequence of B. exigua, the pathogen causing P. notoginseng leaf spot in China. We performed sequencing, de novo assembly, and genomic analysis of strain HEI-C.

resultsThe HEI-C genome was estimated to be approximately 26.35 Mb in size, with a 53.14% GC content. Among the 11,701 predicted genes, 11,478 (98.09%) showed significant similarity to genes in the NCBI nr database. Phylogenetic analysis based on the HEI-C ITS sequence and whole genome revealed that HEI-C is most closely related to Boeremia sp. Among its coding genes, 412 putative CAZy genes belonging to five CAZy classes were identified, which are associated with plant cell wall degradation. A total of 252 secondary metabolite gene clusters of various types were predicted. Additionally, using the PHI (Pathogen-Host Interactions) database, we identified 47 effector proteins and 91 virulence-enhancing factors.

conclusionThe complete genome sequence of B. exigua, the causal agent of P. notoginseng leaf spot, enhances our understanding of its pathogenicity and virulence. Therefore, this study provides a theoretical foundation for investigating its pathogenic mechanisms and developing improved disease management strategies.
