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

Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) is one of the most abundant fish species in the world. It is an important economical and nutritional resource, as well as a crucial part of the North Atlantic ecosystem. In 2016, a draft herring genome assembly was published. Being a species of such importance, we sought to independently verify and potentially improve the herring genome assembly. We sequenced the herring genome generating paired-end, mate-pair, linked and long reads. Three assembly versions of the herring genome were generated based on a de novo assembly (A1), which was scaffolded using linked and long reads (A2) and then merged with the previously published assembly (A3). The resulting assemblies were compared using parameters describing the size, fragmentation, correctness, and completeness of the assemblies. Results showed that the A2 assembly was less fragmented, more complete and more correct than A1. A3 showed improvement in fragmentation and correctness compared with A2 and the published assembly but was slightly less complete than the published assembly. Thus, we here confirmed the previously published herring assembly, and made improvements by further scaffolding the assembly and removing low-quality sequences using linked and long reads and merging of assemblies.
