Transposon proliferation drives genome architecture and regulatory evolution in wild and domesticated peppers.
Article in Nature plants, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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.
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
Pepper (Capsicum spp.) is a widely consumed vegetable with exceptionally large genomes in Solanaceae, yet its genomic evolutionary history remains largely unknown. Here we present 11 high-quality Capsicum genome assemblies, including two gap-free genomes, covering four wild and all five domesticated pepper species. We reconstructed the ancestral karyotype and inferred the evolutionary trajectory of peppers. The expanded and variable genome sizes were attributed to differential transposable element accumulations, which shaped 3D chromatin architecture and introduced mutations associated with traits such as fruit orientation and colour. Using a chromatin accessibility atlas of Capsicum, we highlight the influence of transposable elements on regulatory element evolution. Furthermore, by constructing a haploblock map of 124 pepper core germplasms, we uncover frequent introgressions that facilitate the formation of sweet blocky pepper and the acquisition of important traits such as resistance to pepper mild mottle virus. These findings on the genomic and functional evolution of Capsicum will benefit pepper breeding.
