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

Taxillus sutchuenensis, an ecologically and medicinally important hemiparasitic plant that parasitizes diverse woody hosts, was sequenced to generate a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly. PacBio HiFi long reads, RNA-seq transcriptome data, and Hi-C data were used to assemble a 406.32 Mb genome anchored onto nine pseudo-chromosomes, with a scaffold N50 of 45.59 Mb. The assembly showed high completeness and accuracy, supported by BUSCO (93.6%) and Merqury QV (70.6) assessments. The LTR Assembly Index (LAI) of 13.98 indicated excellent continuity. A total of 21,795 protein-coding genes were predicted, with 94.46% functionally annotated. Repetitive sequences accounted for 50.05% of the genome, primarily LTR retrotransposons. This genome provides a valuable resource for investigating the evolution, functional genomics, and parasitic mechanisms of hemiparasitic plants.
