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

Magnolia amoena (Magnoliaceae), a deciduous tree endemic to eastern China, is valued for its striking floral diversity and traditional medicinal uses, yet remains understudied. To support its conservation and evolutionary research, we generated a high-quality chromosome-scale assembly using DNBSEQ-T7, PacBio HiFi, and Hi-C data. The final assembly spanned 1.87 Gb with a contig N50 of 36.92 Mb, of which 95.73% (1.79 Gb) was anchored onto 19 pseudochromosomes. Repetitive elements occupied 79.55% of the genome, dominated by long terminal repeats (57.72%) and DNA transposons (14.25%). A total of 39,739 protein-coding genes (mean length: 10.21 kb) were predicted, with 86.34% functionally annotated, alongside 270 miRNAs, 631 tRNAs, 668 rRNAs, and 4,133 snRNAs. Comparative genomic analysis across 11 magnoliid species identified 23,244 gene families in M. amoena, of which 1,905 were unique. Phylogenomic reconstruction strongly supported M. amoena as sister to M. biondii, with an estimated divergence time of ~18.5 Mya. Overall, this genome assembly lays a robust foundation for future research into the evolution, adaptation, and conservation of M. amoena.
