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

We described genome-wide screening and characterization of microsatellites in the swamp eel genome. A total of 99,293 microsatellite loci were identified in the genome with an overall density of 179 microsatellites per megabase of genomic sequences. The dinucleotide microsatellites were the most abundant type representing 71% of the total microsatellite loci and the AC-rich motifs were the most recurrent in all repeat types. Microsatellite frequency decreased as numbers of repeat units increased, which was more obvious in long than short microsatellite motifs. Most of microsatellites were located in non-coding regions, whereas only approximately 1% of the microsatellites were detected in coding regions. Trinucleotide repeats were most abundant microsatellites in the coding regions, which represented amino acid repeats in proteins. There was a chromosome-biased distribution of microsatellites in non-coding regions, with the highest density of 203.95/Mb on chromosome 8 and the least on chromosome 7 (164.06/Mb). The most abundant dinucleotides (AC)n was mainly located on chromosome 8. Notably, genomic mapping showed that there was a chromosome-biased association of genomic distributions between microsatellites and transposon elements. Thus, the novel dataset of microsatellites in swamp eel provides a valuable resource for further studies on QTL-based selection breeding, genetic resource conservation and evolutionary genetics.
