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

Wheat Snow Mold (WSM), caused by Microdochium species, poses a serious threat to global wheat production. Despite its importance, the genetic and molecular mechanisms of Microdochium remain poorly understood. In particular, genome-wide differences between M. majus and M. nivale, which were previously considered a single species, have not been fully elucidated. Here, we present the first high-quality telomere-to-telomere genome assemblies of M. majus (231095) and M. nivale (231047), based on Nanopore and Illumina sequencing, with genome sizes of 36.50 Mb and 37.27 Mb. Each assembly was anchored to 13 chromosomes and one circular mitochondrial genome. We identified 11,432 and 11,904 protein-coding genes, with BUSCO completeness scores of 98.5% and 99.3%; of these, 11,094 and 11,504 genes were functionally annotated. Comparative genomics revealed a high degree of collinearity between the two strains, along with segment relocations and gene presence/absence variations. This study enhances our understanding of the genetic foundations of M. majus and M. nivale, laying the groundwork for future research on genetic evolution and disease management.
