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

Encarsia sophia, a heteronomous hyperparasitoid wasp, is a well-known biological control agent, but its genomic information is limited, hindering molecular investigations and understanding of multitrophic interactions. In this study, we present a chromosome-level genome assembly for E. sophia using Illumina, PacBio HiFi, and Hi-C technologies. The assembled genome size is 398.3 Mb, with a contig N50 of 1.0 Mb and a scaffold N50 of 74.0 Mb. The BUSCO completeness score is 97.1%, and genome coverage reaches 99.1%. Utilizing Hi-C assisted assembly, the genome was organized into five chromosomes, with a mounting rate of 95.1%. Repetitive sequences make up 54.6% of the genome, and 14,914 protein-coding genes were predicted, with 95.5% functionally annotated. The high-quality genome assembly of E. sophia is a significant achievement, marking the first complete genome for a heteronomous hyperparasitoid wasp. This milestone offers valuable insights into the evolution and host interactions of heteronomous hyperparasitoids, laying the foundation for extensive research in biological control.
