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

The white-spotted sawyer, Monochamus scutellatus (Say) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), is an important vector of pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner and Buhrer) Nickle, in North America. While Monochamus species from the Palearctic region have been extensively studied for their role in transmitting PWN that causes pine wilt disease in Asia and Europe, the genetic mechanisms underlying Monochamus-PWN interactions in their native range remain largely unknown. Here, we present the first chromosome-level genome assembly of the North American M. scutellatus, constructed using PacBio HiFi long read, Pore-C chromatin conformation capture, and Illumina RNA sequencing. The assembled genome spans 830.9 Mbp, with a scaffold N50 of 87.9 Mbp, 97.9% of which were anchored to 10 chromosome-level scaffolds. The X chromosome was identified through synteny analysis. Repeat elements constitute 70.7% of the genome, and 13,684 protein-coding genes were functionally annotated. This reference-quality genome of M. scutellatus provides a valuable comparative resource for elucidating the genomic basis of Monochamus-PWN interactions, and offers a foundation for devising targeted management strategies against PWN and its vectors.
