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

Agroathelia rolfsii (A. rolfsii) is a globally distributed soilborne fungal pathogen that infects a wide range of crops, causing basal stem rot and yield losses. In this study, we report a high-quality genome assembly of A. rolfsii strain LC1 (43.3 Mb, N50 = 3.3 Mb, GC content = 46.3%) using integrated PacBio long-read and Illumina short-read sequencing technologies. Genome annotation identified 8,826 protein-coding genes, with 30.93% comprising repetitive sequences. Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Ortholog (BUSCO) analysis demonstrated 97.7% genome completeness, supported by a high QV value of 44, with functional annotations covering 91.1% of the genes. A total of 1,260 carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZyme) genes, predominantly glycoside hydrolases (37.7%), and 22 secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters were identified, indicating strong host tissue degradation capability and diverse virulence factors. Phylogenetic analysis supported genetic diversity within the Agroathelia genus. This study provides key genomic resources for understanding the pathogenic mechanisms, host interactions, and resistance gene discovery of A. rolfsii, laying the foundation for the development of virulence-targeted control strategies.
