A chromosome-level genome assembly of Meteorus pulchricornis Wesmael (Hymenoptera: Braconidae).
Article in Scientific data, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Meteorus pulchricornis Wesmael (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is an important parasitoid of lepidopteran insects. So far, only three scaffold-level genomes have been published for the genus Meteorus. In this study, we present a high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly of M. pulchricornis, characterized by high accuracy and contiguity. This assembly was achieved using Oxford Nanopore Technologies long-read, MGI-SEQ short-read, and Hi-C sequencing methods. The final assembly was 158.5 Mb in genome size, with 153.8 Mb (97.03%) assigned to ten pseudochromosomes. The scaffold N50 length reached 17.51 Mb, and the complete Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs (BUSCO) score was 99.3%. The genome contains 28.29 Mb of repetitive elements, accounting for 18.39% of the total genome size. We identified 12,342 protein-coding genes, of which 12,308 genes were annotated functionally. Our investigation into gene family evolution in M. pulchricornis showed that 563 gene families expanded, 1,739 contracted, and 58 underwent rapid evolution. The high-quality genome assembly we report here is advantageous for further research on parasitoid wasps and provides a foundational data resource for natural enemy studies.
