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 wild silk moth, Bombyx mandarina, is the closest relative of the domesticated silk moth, Bombyx mori. National BioResource Project of Japan (NBRP) maintains a B. mandarina strain derived from individuals captured at Sakado (Saitama, Japan) in 1982. Now, NBRP has developed chromosome replacement strains of B. mori. In each strain, one autosome of B. mori was replaced with the corresponding chromosome of B. mandarina. To facilitate the use of chromosome replacement strains and B. mandarina itself, we constructed a chromosome-level genome assembly of B. mandarina. Furthermore, we performed functional annotations of the genome assembly, i.e., transcriptome-based gene prediction, Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin (ATAC)-seq, and PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA)-targeted small RNA-seq. The assembly harbors 14,859 protein-coding genes and 628 piRNA clusters across three tissues: ovaries, testis, and embryos. ATAC-seq data comprehensively detected open chromosome regions, which will benefit when CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing is conducted.
