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

Plants inhabiting extreme environments provide valuable genetic resources for studying stress-resistance mechanisms. Halogeton arachnoideus (Amaranthaceae sensu lato) is a typical halophyte native to saline habitats, yet the molecular mechanisms underpinning its adaptation remain unclear. Here, we present a high-quality, chromosome-scale genome assembly using PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing and high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) technologies. The genome is highly repetitive and dominated by long terminal repeat retrotransposons, which shape genome architecture and potentially modulate gene regulatory landscapes. Although no lineage-specific whole-genome duplication (WGD) event is detected, genes derived from ancient WGD and tandem duplications likely provide evolutionary substrates for salt-associated responses. Transcriptomic analyses under moderate and high salinity treatments reveal extensive transcriptional remodeling. Gene regulatory networks analyses uncover stress-induced rewiring and decentralization. Transcription factor families (MYB, AP2/ERF, WRKY, and bHLH) constitute major components of the salt-responsive regulatory landscape, while NAC and C
