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

White star apple (Gambeya albida) is native to the lowland rainforests of Central, East, and West Africa. This species is highly valued for its nutritious fruits and offers medicinal, socio-cultural, and economic benefits. In West Africa, it contributes to food security for rural and urban communities alike. However, no genomic resources are available to untap the agronomic and medicinal traits of the white star apple. Here, we present its first chromosome-scale genome, generated using PacBio HiFi and Omni-C sequencing. The white star apple genome is highly homozygous, and we assembled 98.9% of the estimated haploid genome size (822 Mbp) into 13 pseudochromosomes. It has a base-level accuracy (QV) of 58.14, an N50 of 57 Mbp, and 97.5% BUSCO completeness, representing a reference-quality assembly. About 58.5% of the genome constitutes repetitive sequences, and ab initio gene prediction identified 33,602 gene models. This reference-quality genome of the white star apple will serve as a valuable resource to enhance our understanding of its nutritional and pharmacological traits and facilitate improvement research.
