Chromosome-level genome assembly for the ecologically and economically important alga Saccharina japonica.
Article in Scientific data, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Saccharina japonica is a major kelp species of brown algae with the highest production among aquaculture seaweeds and holds important ecological and economic value. Despite advancements in domestication, a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly is needed to assist its genetic improvement. Previous genome assemblies of S. japonica were either on a draft-level or highly fragmented. Here, we generated a high-quality chromosome-level genome for the female sporophyte using PacBio sequencing and Hi-C. The genome is 516.11 Mb, with contig N50 length of 491.30 Kb and scaffold N50 length of 16.24 Mb, anchored into 32 pseudo-chromosomes. Repetitive elements constituted 45.07% of the genome, and 17,739 protein-coding genes were predicted, of which 82% were functionally annotated. This genome provides a crucial resource for biotechnological advances in S. japonica breeding and offers insights into the ecology and evolution of brown algae.
