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

Pulsatilla chinensis (Bunge) Regel, a medicinal species in the genus Pulsatilla (Ranunculaceae), exhibits significant anti-inflammatory activity due to its abundant triterpenoid saponins, enhancing its medicinal value. All 48 known Pulsatilla species lack whole genome sequencing data, hindering research on the utilization of genetic resources in the genus and investigations into their biosynthetic mechanisms. Here, we present the first chromosome-level genome assembly of P. chinensis. The assembly spans 6,588.76 Mb with a contig N50 of 4.28 Mb. Using PacBio sequencing and Hi-C scaffolding, 99.32% of sequences were anchored onto eight chromosomes. We annotated 41,786 protein-coding genes through ab initio prediction, homology alignment, and transcriptome evidence, with 98.77% functionally annotated via NR, GO, and KEGG databases. This assembly not only facilitates studies on the molecular mechanisms and biosynthesis of bioactive compounds in P. chinensis, but also supports the further enrichment and utilization of germplasm resources across the Ranunculaceae.
