Chromosome-level genome and recombination map of the male buffalo.
Article in GigaScience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
backgroundThe swamp buffalo (Bubalus bubalis carabanesis) is an economically important livestock supplying milk, meat, leather, and draft power. Several female buffalo genomes have been available, but the lack of high-quality male genomes hinders studies on chromosome evolution, especially Y, as well as meiotic recombination.
resultsHere, a chromosome-level genome with a contig N50 of 72.2 Mb and a fine-scale recombination map of male buffalo were reported. We found that transposable elements (TEs) and structural variants (SVs) may contribute to buffalo evolution by influencing adjacent gene expression. We further found that the pseudoautosomal region (PAR) of the Y chromosome is subject to stronger purification selection. The meiotic recombination map showed that there were 2 obvious recombination hotspots on chromosome 8, and the genes around them were mainly related to tooth development, which may have helped to enhance the adaption of buffalo to inferior feed. Among several genomic features, TE density has the strongest correlation with recombination rates. Moreover, the TE subfamily, SINE/tRNA, is likely to play a role in driving recombination into SVs.
conclusionsThe male genome and sperm sequencing will facilitate the understanding of the buffalo genomic evolution and functional research.
