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

Mulberry is a representative economic tree species valued for both poverty alleviation and medicinal use. To advance the understanding of mulberry genomics and demography, we assembled high-quality haploid genomes of two widely cultivated mulberry varieties NS14 and QS1, and analysed 376 accessions from 12 countries, including 39 ancient trees to investigate their origin and spreading. Population genetic analyses revealed that mulberry originated in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau (YGP) and subsequently spread northward from South China to North China. This migration resulted in significant genetic differentiation between northern and southern populations, with the southern populations exhibiting higher genetic diversity. A total of 37 traits related to development and immunity were analysed in 203 accessions, and a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was used to identify 204 associated loci. Five causal gene haplotypes were pinpointed for key production traits of mulberry trees, including branch pitch, branch length, budburst timing, leaf thickness, and leaf size (leaf area, leaf width, and leaf length). To further explore loci related to disease resistance, we examined the resistance of 538 F
