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

Bumblebees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) are important pollinating insects that play pivotal roles in crop production and natural ecosystem services. Although protein-coding genes in bumblebees have been extensively annotated, regulatory sequences of the genome, such as promoters and enhancers, have been poorly annotated. To achieve a comprehensive profile of accessible chromatin regions and provide clues for all possible regulatory elements in the bumblebee genome, we performed ATAC-seq (Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with high-throughput sequencing) on Bombus terrestris samples derived from four developmental stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult, respectively. The ATAC-seq reads were mapped to the B. terrestris reference genome, and its accessible chromatin regions were identified and characterized using bioinformatic methods. We identified 36,390 chromatin accessible regions in total, including both shared and stage-specific chromatin accessible signals. Our study will provide an important resource, not only for uncovering regulatory elements in the bumblebee genome, but also for expanding our understanding of bumblebee biology throughout development.
