A new chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation of Cryptosporidium meleagridis.
Article in Scientific data, 2024. 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
Cryptosporidium spp. are medically and scientifically relevant protozoan parasites that cause severe diarrheal illness in infants, immunosuppressed populations and many animals. Although most human Cryptosporidium infections are caused by C. parvum and C. hominis, there are several other human-infecting species including C. meleagridis, which are commonly observed in developing countries. Here, we annotated a hybrid long-read Oxford Nanopore Technologies and short-read Illumina genome assembly for C. meleagridis (CmTU1867) with DNA generated using multiple displacement amplification. The assembly was then compared to the previous C. meleagridis (CmUKMEL1) assembly and annotation and a recent telomere-to-telomere C. parvum genome assembly. The chromosome-level assembly is 9.2 Mb with a contig N50 of 1.1 Mb. Annotation revealed 3,919 protein-encoding genes. A BUSCO analysis indicates a completeness of 96.6%. The new annotation contains 166 additional protein-encoding genes and reveals high synteny to C. parvum IOWA II (CpBGF). The new C. meleagridis genome assembly is nearly gap-free and provides a valuable new resource for the Cryptosporidium community and future studies on evolution and host-specificity.
