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

Scurrula parasitica (Loranthaceae) is a widespread aerial hemiparasitic plant in southwest China, recognized for its ecological roles and broad host range. As a representative of mistletoes in Santalales, it serves as a model for studying the genomic basis of aerial hemiparasitism. Here, we present a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of S. parasitica using PacBio high-fidelity and Hi-C sequencing. The assembled genome spans 547.41 Mb with a contig N50 of 8.32 Mb, and 97.54% of the sequence is anchored to nine pseudochromosomes. Repetitive sequences account for 64.53% of the genome. We predicted 21,837 protein-coding genes, of which 20,974 (96.05%) received functional annotations.Additionally, we identified 1,271 transcription factor genes and 8,407 non-coding RNAs. This chromosome-level assembly provides a foundational resource for investigating gene family evolution, parasitic adaptation, and genome architecture in S. parasitica. The genome assembly and associated datasets have been deposited in public repositories, enabling future comparative and functional genomic studies in parasitic angiosperms.
