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

Gerbera hybrida is one of the most popular ornamental plants and also serves as a valuable model plant within the Asteraceae family. Here, we report both the nuclear and organellar genome assemblies and annotations of G. hybrida, which was developed through hybridization of 2 wild species. Sequencing was performed using a combination of PacBio high fidelity (HiFi) reads and chromatin capture reads (Omni-C). The total span of the nuclear genome assembly is 2.32 gigabases, and 99.3% of the sequence assembled into 25 scaffolds, consistent with the known chromosome number. Genome annotation of the nuclear genome identified 36,160 protein-coding genes and 11,572 non-coding transcripts. The mitochondrial genome had 363,511 bp and contains 36 protein-coding genes, 3 rRNAs, and 21 tRNAs, while the chloroplast genome is 151,898 bp in length and includes 85 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNAs, and 37 tRNAs. A syntenic analysis of the G. hybrida genome and published Asterales genomes demonstrated that Gerbera has undergone a whole-genome triplication. This reference genome provides a foundational resource for future molecular breeding and genetic research in Gerbera and the broader Asteraceae family.
