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

Paracoccidioides is a genus of dimorphic fungal pathogens endemic to Latin America. We generated long-read de novo assemblies for 11 isolates representing 4 species of the brasiliensis complex (Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, Paracoccidioides americana, Paracoccidioides restrepiensis, Paracoccidioides venezuelensis) and Paracoccidioides lutzii. These include the first complete telomere-to-telomere assemblies for P. brasiliensis (Pb18) and P. americana (Pb03), each with 5 chromosomes. Comparative analyses revealed chromosomal fusion and fission events distinguishing P. brasiliensis and P. americana, and a 90 kb tandem duplication in P. americana containing siderophore biosynthesis genes (sid1, sid3, sid4), a cluster of putative virulence factors. Mitochondrial genomes showed conserved gene order but a phylogenetic topology inconsistent with the nuclear tree, suggesting mitochondrial introgression between P. lutzii and P. venezuelensis. RNA transposable elements were enriched near telomeres, correlated with genome size, and most abundant in P. lutzii. These assemblies provide key resources for understanding genome evolution and introgression in Paracoccidioides.
