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

Mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) display relatively rapid mutation rates, low sequence recombination, high copy numbers, and maternal inheritance patterns, rendering them valuable blueprints for mapping lineages, uncovering historical migration patterns, understanding intraspecific population dynamics, and investigating how environmental pressures shape traits underpinned by genetic variation. Here, we present the bioinformatic pipeline and code used to assemble and annotate the complete mitogenomes of five houndsharks (Chondrichthyes: Triakidae) and compare them to the mitogenomes of other closely related species. We demonstrate the value of a combined assembly approach for detecting deviations in mitogenome structure and describe how to select an assembly approach that best suits the sequencing data. The datasets required to run our analyses are available on the GitHub and Dryad repositories. Key features • Tips and code for conducting de novo, reference-based, and hybrid assembly. • Guide to detecting deviations in the structure of the mitochondrial genome. • Step-by-step guide to annotating and comparing the characteristics of mitochondrial genomes. • Access to the scripts, data files, and pipelines used to enable replication of all analyses.
