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

backgroundAvocado (Persea americana) is an economically important fruit with growing global production. While multiple genome assemblies and transcriptomic datasets are publicly available-including the dedicated platform AvoBase-these resources remain fragmented and lack integration with pre‑computed multi‑omics analyses and reproducible workflows.

resultsWe present the Persea americana Genome Database (PAGD; http://bioinfor.kib.ac.cn/ ), an integrated platform consolidating two high‑quality genome assemblies (Hass chromosome‑level and West Indian telomere‑to‑telomere). It also hosts RNA‑seq datasets from 13 NCBI BioProjects, each linked to detailed biosample metadata, all uniformly re‑processed. Pre‑computed results include gene family classification (68 TPS genes), collinearity, gene density, and expression profiles. PAGD offers BLAST, JBrowse, interactive heatmaps, and data download. Additionally, we developed three Docker‑encapsulated Snakemake workflows for reference‑based and reference‑free transcriptome analysis, eliminating manual software configuration.

conclusionPAGD advances existing avocado genomic resources by integrating multi‑omics data with pre‑computed analyses and a reproducible transcriptome workflow. The encapsulated workflows lower the technical barrier for RNA‑seq analysis, are adaptable to other plant species, and support functional genomics, breeding, and comparative studies.
