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

Inbred animals were historically chosen for genome analysis to circumvent assembly issues caused by haplotype variation but this resulted in a composite of the two genomes. Here we report a haplotype-aware scaffolding and polishing pipeline which was used to create haplotype-resolved, chromosome-level genome assemblies of Angus (taurine) and Brahman (indicine) cattle subspecies from contigs generated by the trio binning method. These assemblies reveal structural and copy number variants that differentiate the subspecies and that variant detection is sensitive to the specific reference genome chosen. Six genes with immune related functions have additional copies in the indicine compared with taurine lineage and an indicus-specific extra copy of fatty acid desaturase is under positive selection. The haplotyped genomes also enable transcripts to be phased to detect allele-specific expression. This work exemplifies the value of haplotype-resolved genomes to better explore evolutionary and functional variations.
