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 giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) is a key species in the aquaculture industry in several Asian, African, and South American countries. Despite a considerable growth in its production worldwide, the genetic complexities of M. rosenbergii various morphotypes pose challenges in cultivation. This study reports the first chromosome-scale reference genome and a high-quality full-length transcriptome assembly for M. rosenbergii. We employed the PacBio High Fidelity (HiFi) sequencing to obtain an initial draft assembly and further scaffolded it with the chromatin contact mapping (Hi-C) technique to achieve a final assembly of 3.73-Gb with an N50 scaffold length of 33.6 Mb. Repetitive elements constituted nearly 60% of the genome assembly, with simple sequence repeats and retrotransposons being the most abundant. The availability of both the chromosome-scale assembly and the full-length transcriptome assembly enabled us to thoroughly probe alternative splicing events in M. rosenbergii. Among the 2,041 events investigated, exon skipping represented the most prevalent class, followed by intron retention. Interestingly, specific isoforms were observed across multiple tissues. Additionally, within a single tissue type, transcripts could undergo alternative splicing, yielding multiple isoforms. We believe that the availability of a chromosome-level reference genome for M. rosenbergii, along with its full-length transcriptome, will be instrumental in advancing our understanding of the giant freshwater prawn biology and enhancing its molecular breeding programs, paving the way for the development of M. rosenbergii with valuable traits in commercial aquaculture.
