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

The colored calla lily, a member of the genus Zantedeschia in the Araceae family native to South Africa, is a valuable ornamental plant. However, the lack of a high-quality genome has hindered genetic analysis and the identification of key trait-related genes. We successfully assembled a haplotype-resolved genome of the colored calla lily, revealing extensive heterozygosity between homologous chromosomes. Comparative genomics analyses demonstrated that transposon insertions have led to significant differences in genome size among Araceae species. Notably, Araceae species experienced two closely-spaced whole-genome duplication (WGD) events before species divergence. Further analysis revealed that in terrestrial True Araceae species, genes associated with lignin synthase, cellulose synthase, expansin, and sugar transport proteins have undergone expansion, likely contributing to environmental adaptation and tuber starch accumulation. Additionally, we identified a key MIKC
