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

Dioscorea opposita, a perennial dioecious vine endemic to East Asia, holds substantial economic value owing to its dual role as a source of both food and traditional medicine. In this study, we constructed a high-quality, chromosome-level reference genome for this species by integrating PacBio, BGI, and Hi-C sequencing technologies. The assembled haploid genome is approximately 430.73 Mb, 94.33% of the sequences were anchored onto 20 pseudochromosomes. Our analysis confirmed that this species not only underwent a recent hexaploidization event (2n = 6x = 120), but also carried genomic signatures originating from earlier polyploidization events. We annotated 24,960 protein-coding genes, of which 93.58% were functionally annotated. Repetitive sequences accounted for 65.93% of the genome, with LTR elements being the most abundant component (48.00%). BUSCO confirmed high completeness of both the genome assembly and gene annotation. This genomic resource provides a crucial reference for studying sex determination, adaptive evolution, and genomic diversity within Dioscorea and lays a solid foundation for genetic improvement, germplasm conservation, and sustainable utilization of this key plant.
