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

This study, the first in a three-part series, lays the foundation for understanding the origin of the peanut crop (Arachis hypogaea). Its subsequent evolution is explored in the two papers that follow. The evidence that A. hypogaea originated from a single hybridization event between Arachis duranensis and Arachis ipaënsis less than 10 000 years ago was already very strong. Here, we extend this evidence using more than 1600 single-nucleotide polymorphisms to make an almost exhaustive comparison of wild Arachis section germplasm conserved ex situ with the A and B subgenomes of divergent, sequenced cultivated peanuts. The wild relatives of peanut are highly selfing and their geocarpy means they plant their own seeds, allowing them to persist as discrete populations for millennia. This unusual biology creates a rare opportunity for genetic archaeology: ancestral lineages can be identified with exceptional precision. Our results reaffirm a single origin for the cultigen, identifying A. duranensis from Río Seco and A. ipaënsis K 30076 as the closest known relatives of the A and B subgenomes of peanut. As a genomic resource, we generated a chromosome-scale assembly of the Río Seco A. duranensis K 30065 and confirmed that it is more closely related to the A subgenome of peanut than the current reference genome (V14167). Even if somewhat closer wild accessions were found through new field collections, they would still belong to the same ancestral lineage. With this level of evidence, the origin of peanut is now known in greater detail than that of any other ancient polyploid crop.
