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

The White-eared Night-Heron (Gorsachius magnificus, G. magnificus) is a critically endangered heron that is very poorly known and only found in southern China and northern Vietnam, with an estimated population of 250 to 999 mature individuals. However, the lack of a reference genome has hindered the implementation of conservation management efforts. In this study, we present the first high-quality chromosome-scale reference genome, which was assembled by integrating PacBio long-reads sequencing, Illumina paired-end sequencing, and Hi-C technology. The genome has a total length of 1.176 Gb, with a scaffold N50 of 84.77 Mb and a contig N50 of 18.46 Mb. Utilizing Hi-C data, we anchored 99.89% of the scaffold sequences onto 29 pairs of chromosomes. Additionally, we identified 18,062 protein-coding genes in the genome, with 95.00% of which were functionally annotated. Notably, BUSCO assessment confirmed the presence of 97.2% of highly conserved Aves genes within the genome. This chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation will be valuable for future investigating the G. magnificus's evolutionary adaptation and conservation.
