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

Three-spotted seahorse (Hippocampi trimaculata) is a unique fish with important economic and medicinal values, and its total chromosome number is potentially quite different from other seahorse species. Herein, we constructed a chromosome-level genome assembly for this special seahorse by integration of MGI short-read, PacBio HiFi long-read and Hi-C sequencing techniques. A 416.57-Mb haplotypic genome assembly was obtained. Subsequently, 99.38% of its scaffold sequences were anchored onto 18 chromosomes, with identification of 29.1% repeat sequences in the assembled genome. Additional karyotype analysis validated the diploid chromosomes of 2n = 36, which are remarkably different from other seahorses' 2n = 42 or 44. The genome completeness (BUSCO score: 96.5%, CEGMA score: 97.87%) confirmed that this chromosome-scale assembly is indeed of high quality. Moreover, a total of 18,712 protein-coding genes were annotated, of which 96.36% could be predicted with functions. Based on construction of a phylogenetic tree, we estimated that Hippocampus and Syngnathoides diverged approximately 50.1 million years ago (Mya). Taken together, our genome data presented in this study provide a valuable genetic resource for numerical chromosome changes and in-depth evolutionary and functional investigations, as well as conservation and molecular breeding of this endangered teleost.
