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

Siberian kale (Brassica napus subsp. pabularia, AACC, 2n = 38) is a distinct subspecies of B. napus, characterized by its deeply lobed leaves and primarily cultivated as a nutritious leafy vegetable. Here, we present a chromosome-level genome of Beta, a Siberian kale variety, integrating Illumina short reads, PacBio HiFi long reads, and Hi-C data. The final assembly size is 1,078.8 Mb, with a scaffold N50 of 57.5 Mb and a genome BUSCO completeness of 99.7%. 954.0 Mb (88.4%) of sequences were successfully anchored to 19 pseudo-chromosomes. The configuration of Beta genome chromosomes is consistent with the distribution of ten A subgenome and nine C subgenome chromosomes in rapeseed. In total, 98,882 protein-coding genes were predicted ab initio in the Beta genome, with an average gene length of 1,997 bp, and 90,415 (91.44%) genes were functionally annotated. Overall, the high-quality genome provides a valuable resource for bridging current knowledge gaps and offers key genetic insights into deeply lobed leaf formation and improvement of Brassica crops.
