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

Yellow wood sorrel (Oxalis stricta L.), also known as sourgrass, juicy fruit, or sheep weed, is a member of the Oxalidaceae family. Yellow wood sorrel is commonly considered a weed, and while native to North America, it is distributed across Europe, Asia, and Africa. To date, only 2 other genomes from the Oxalidaceae family have been published, star fruit (Averrhoa carambola L.) and Oxalis articulata Savigny. Here, we present a chromosome-scale assembly for O. stricta, revealing its allotetraploid nature and synteny within its 2 subgenomes as well as synteny with A. carambola and O. articulata. Using Oxford Nanopore Technologies long-read sequences coupled with chromatin capture sequencing, we generated a 436 Mb chromosome-scale assembly of O. stricta with a scaffold N50 length of 36.2 Mb that is anchored to 12 chromosomes across the 2 subgenomes. Assessment of the final genome assembly using the Long Terminal Repeat Assembly Index yielded a score of 13.12, and assessment of Benchmarking Universal Single Copy Orthologs revealed 99.6% complete orthologs; both metrics are suggestive of a high-quality reference genome. Total repetitive sequence content in the O. stricta genome was 39.7% with retroelements being the largest class of transposable elements. Annotation of protein-coding genes yielded 61,550 high-confidence genes encoding 115,089 gene models. Synteny between the 2 O. stricta subgenomes was present in 93 syntenic blocks containing 40,750 genes, of which, 76.47% were present in 1:1 syntenic relationships between the 2 subgenomes. The availability of an annotated chromosome-scale high-quality genome assembly for O. stricta will provide a launching point to understand the high fecundity of this weed and provide further foundation for comparative genomics within the Oxalidaceae.
