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

Saussurea hypsipeta Diels, a perennial medicinal plant used in traditional Chinese medicine, is primarily distributed on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where it serves as a key component of the alpine ecosystem. The lack of genetic information and high-quality genome assembly hinders in-depth research on this species as well as its conservation and further utilization. Here, we report the chromosome-level genome assembly of this diploid species, which was accomplished by integrating Illumina short-read, PacBio HiFi long-read, and Hi-C sequencing. The final assembly size was 3.18 Gb with excellent contiguity (contig N50 = 4.33 Mb; scaffold N50 = 182.60 Mb) and integrity (BUSCO score 97.46%). Among them, 98.91% of the sequences were anchored to 16 pairs of chromosomes, and the content of repetitive sequences was 87.15%. Furthermore, we predicted 70,374 genes, including 41,655 protein-coding genes, of which 94.13% were functionally annotated. This high-quality genomic resource provides a critical foundation for elucidating the molecular mechanisms of high-altitude adaptation, also offering genetic insights into its medicinal value.
