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

Echiura is a distinctive family of unsegmented sausage-shaped marine worms whose phylogenetic relationship still needs strong evidence from the phylogenomic analysis. In this family, Urechis unicinctus is known for its high nutritional and medicinal value and adaptation to harsh intertidal conditions. Herein, we combined PacBio long-read, short-read Illumina and Hi-C sequencing, generating a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of U. unicinctus. The assembled genome spans ~1,138.6 Mb with a scaffold N50 of 68.3 Mb, of which 1,113.8 Mb (97.82%) were anchored into 17 pseudo-chromosomes. The BUSCO analysis demonstrated the completeness of the genome assembly and gene model prediction are 93.5% and 91.5%, respectively. A total of 482.1 Mb repetitive sequences, 21,524 protein-coding genes, 1,535 miRNAs, 3,431 tRNAs, 124 rRNAs, and 348 snRNAs were annotated. This study significantly improves the quality of U. unicinctus genome assembly, sets the footsteps for molecular breeding and further study in genome evolution, genetic and molecular biology of U. unicinctus.
