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

objectivesBixa orellana, commonly known as achiote, is the domesticated species within the Bixa genus. It is a commercially important plant due to its high bixin content, primarily used as a pigment in the food industry. Achiote is a cross-pollinated, highly heterozygous species with a small genome size. This study aims to generate a de novo genome assembly of Bixa orellana L., which will be crucial for identifying the genes involved in bixin synthesis and its regulation. This assembly will offer valuable insights for future applications related to agronomical traits aimed at increasing bixin yield in achiote or different plant or microorganism systems, as well as for improving the genetic potential of achiote crops. DATA DESCRIPTION: A de novo assembly of the genome of Bixa orellana L., accession PN4 was generated from ~145 x consensus coverage of PacBio long reads. This Hifiasm assembly included 10 chromosome-scale superscaffolds representing 96.4% of the assembly, for an overall genome size of 270 Mb. Illumina RNA-Seq libraries from different tissues sampled from the same cultivar were used to annotate the genome.
