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 Japanese anchovy (Engraulis japonicus), a finfish with the largest biomass of a single species in the Yellow and East China Seas, plays an important pivotal role in converting zooplanktons into high trophic fish in the food web. As a result, the fish is regard as a key species in its habiting ecosystem. However, the lack of genomic resources hampers our understanding of its genetic diversity and differentiation, as well as the evolutionary dynamics. Here, we firstly report a complex chromosome-level genome assembly of E. japonicus with a large size of 1.4 Gb, with features of high repetitive sequences (54.9%), high heterozygosity (2.3%) and a number of protein-coding genes (24,405). The genome sequence exhibited a remarkable degree of completeness, valued 94.07% of the complete BUSCO. This work firstly reported the genome sequence of E. japonicus, offering the crucial resources for further studies on the genetic diversity and adaptive evolution of this species.
