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

The rapid decline in global biodiversity highlights the urgent need for conservation efforts, with botanical gardens playing a crucial role in ex situ plant preservation. Monumental plants, such as the 400-year-old Goethe's Palm (Chamaerops humilis L.) at the Padua Botanical Garden serve as vital flagship species with significant ecological and cultural value. In this study, we present the first chromosome-level genome assembly of C. humilis, using PacBio HiFi and Arima Hi-C sequencing technologies. The assembled genome spans 4.41 Gbp with a scaffold N50 length of 195 Mbp and it includes 18 pseudo-chromosomes. Repetitive elements constituted approximately 88% of the genome, with Long Terminal Repeats (LTR) alone comprising 63%. A total of 28,321 protein-coding genes were predicted and annotated. The Goethe's Palm genome assembly is a valuable resource for exploring both its cultural and historical significance, as well as the genetic basis of adaptive traits that allow this palm to thrive in Mediterranean environments.
