De Novo Chromosome-Level Assembly of the Endangered Pilocarpus Microphyllus Highlights Genomic Resources for Conservation and Sustainable Pilocarpine Extraction.
Article in Genome biology and evolution, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Pilocarpus microphyllus (jaborandi) is an endangered plant species with significant bioeconomic relevance, as it is the main known source of pilocarpine, an alkaloid widely used in the treatment of glaucoma and other diseases. Here, we present a functionally annotated, haplotype-phased, chromosome-level genome for P. microphyllus, combining PacBio HiFi and Hi-C sequencing. The final genome assembly spans 2.6 Gb anchored into 22 chromosomes across 95 scaffolds, with a scaffold N50 of 120.9 Mb and a BUSCO completeness score of 99.66%. We obtained 28,319 unique protein-coding loci, of which 28,090 were functionally annotated to the RefSeq database. Repetitive sequences constituted 88.98% of the total genome length. This near-T2T genome provides a robust molecular foundation for investigating the pilocarpine biosynthetic pathway and supports future population-level studies, thereby contributing to improved management and conservation strategies.
