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 Asian icefish, Protosalanx chinensis, has undergone extensive colonization in various waters across China for decades due to its ecological and physiological significance as well as its economic importance in the fishery resource. Here, we decoded a telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome for P. chinensis combining PacBio HiFi long reads and ultra-long ONT (nanopore) reads and Hi-C data. The telomere was identified in both ends of the contig/chromosome. The expanded gene associated with circadian entrainment suggests that P. chinensis may exhibit a high sensitivity to photoperiod. The contracted genes' immune-related families and DNA repair associated with positive selection in P. chinensis suggested the selection pressure during adaptive evolution. The population genetic analysis reported the genetic diversity and genomic footprints in 254 individuals from 8 different locations. The natural seawater samples can be the highest diversity and different from other freshwater and introduced populations. The divergent regions' associated genes were found to be related to the osmotic pressure system, suggesting adaptations to alkalinity and salinity. Thus, the T2T genome and genetic variation can be valuable resources for genomic footprints in P. chinensis, shedding light on its evolution, comparative genomics, and the genetic differences between natural and introduced populations.
