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

Fremontodendron (Malvaceae) is a genus of shrubs native to the California Floristic Province (CFP) with dense, stellate trichomes on their leaves (hence the common name "flannelbush"). The current treatment of the genus includes the widespread and morphologically variable species Fremontodendron californicum, along with the rare F. decumbens and F. mexicanum. While F. californicum is spread across several ecoregions of the CFP, F. decumbens and F. mexicanum are highly restricted. Here, we introduce the first genome-scale resource with which to study this important genus, a de novo, scaffold scale assembly of an individual of F. californicum. Following the overall strategy of the California Conservation Genomics Project (CCGP), we used Pacific Biosciences HiFi long reads and Omni-C chromatin mapping to produce an assembly of the nuclear and plastid (chloroplast) genomes. The nuclear assembly consists of two, phased haplotypes, haplotypes one and two, with similar sizes of around 1.2 Gb, similar scaffold N50s around 26 Mb, and each with a Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Ortholog (BUSCO) completeness score of 99.4%. This assembly will be a valuable resource for understanding the distribution, genetic variation, and species delimitation of this California genus of conservation value, as well as a tool to further investigate the complex evolutionary history of Malvaceae s.l.
