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

Zoysiagrass stands out as a crucial native turfgrass due to its exceptional abiotic stress tolerance, extensive adaptability, and high ornamental value. In this study, we generated a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of Compadre (COM) zoysiagrass, leveraging PacBio SMRT sequencing and Hi-C scaffolding technologies. The resulting genome assembly (312.42 Mb) is anchored on 20 chromosomes, with a Scaffold N50 of 18.72 Mb. In total, 49,074 genes and 306,768 repeat sequences were annotated in the assembled genome. The first chromosome-scale genome of Zoysia japonica 'Compadre' provides a critical genetic resource for cold-tolerant turfgrass breeding through identifying stress-responsive candidate genes. Additionally, we have successfully established a cell nucleus extraction and library construction protocol tailored for zoysiagrass ATAC-seq technology, and a total of 80 low temperature tolerance candidate genes were preliminarily identified via ATAC-seq and RNA-seq profiling, thereby initiating the exploration of turfgrass epigenomics.
