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

Mango (Mangifera indica) is one of the most popular fruits cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The availability of reference genomes helps to identify the genetic basis of important traits. Here, we report assembled high-quality chromosome-level genomes for the Australian mango cultivar 'Kensington Pride' and M. laurina, a wild relative, which shows resistance to anthracnose disease. PacBio HiFi sequencing with higher genome coverage enabled the assembly of both genomes with 100% completeness. Genome sizes of 'Kensington Pride' and M. laurina were 367 Mb and 379 Mb, respectively, with all 20 chromosomes in both genomes having telomeres at both ends. K-mer analysis revealed that these genomes are highly heterozygous and significant structural variations were identified between 'Kensington Pride', M. laurina, and the recently published genome of the cultivar 'Irwin'. Functional annotation identified presence/absence variations of key genes involved in carotenoid, anthocyanin, and terpenoid biosynthesis, responsible for fruit colour and flavour in mango. Furthermore, the presence of a SNP in β-1,3-glucanase 2 gene, previously reported to be associated with anthracnose resistance, was analysed. Whole genome duplication analysis confirmed that mangoes have undergone two polyploidization events during their evolution. Analysis revealed a conserved pattern of colinear genes, although many colinear blocks were also identified on non-homologous chromosomes.
