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

Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus is a pioneering model organism for stem cell biology, being one of only a few animals with adult pluripotent stem cells (known as i-cells). However, the unavailability of a chromosome-level genome assembly has hindered a comprehensive understanding of global gene regulatory mechanisms underlying the function and evolution of i-cells. Here, we report the first chromosome-level genome assembly of H. symbiolongicarpus (HSymV2.0) using PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing and Hi-C scaffolding. The final assembly is 483 Mb in total length with 15 chromosomes representing 99.8% of the assembly. Repetitive sequences were found to account for 296 Mb (61%) of the total genome; we provide evidence for at least two periods of repeat expansion in the past. A total of 25,825 protein-coding genes were predicted in this assembly, which include 93.1% of the metazoan Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs (BUSCO) gene set. 92.8% (23,971 genes) of the predicted proteins were functionally annotated. The H. symbiolongicarpus genome showed a high degree of macrosynteny conservation with the Hydra vulgaris genome. This chromosome-level genome assembly of H. symbiolongicarpus will be an invaluable resource for the research community that enhances broad biological studies on this unique model organism.
