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

Cupressaceae , a gymnosperm family, draws attention due to its controversial phylogenetic position. Here, we present a comprehensive genome analysis of Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata), a Cupressaceae species, to enhance our understanding of gymnosperm evolution. The 11.24 Gb assembled genome, shaped by inefficient long terminal repeat removal, offers insights into its phylogenetic position. Phylogenetic analysis refines gymnosperm relationships between Cycads-Ginkgo and their relation to Gnetales-Pinaceae. Whole-genome duplication (WGD) analysis reveals no evidence for an ancient polyploidization event in the lineage of C. lanceolata, and confirms a seed-plant-shared WGD event. We also explore genomic evidence to explain the population history and adaptability of C. lanceolata, including potential glacial refugia, dispersal centers, and unique sterility. Furthermore, the refined (A)B(C) model for reproductive organ development in C. lanceolata has broader applications across gymnosperms. This study provides a valuable genome sequence and contributes to the understanding of gymnosperm evolution.
