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

Polyembryony is a unique reproductive pattern, where multiple genetically identical offspring develop from a single egg. Macrocentrus cingulum, a polyembryonic endoparasitoid, is one of the dominant parasitoids of the globally agricultural pest, Ostrinia furnacalis, and it can serve as a valuable model for investigating the mechanisms of polyembryony. However, the previously published genome of M. cingulum remains highly fragmented, limiting comprehensive studies of its biological characteristics. Here, we present a chromosome-level genome assembly of M. cingulum using PacBio HiFi and Hi-C sequencing. This genome assembly is approximately 151.93 Mb with a contig N50 of 8.42 Mb and a scaffold N50 of 16.93 Mb, organized into 9 chromosomes. The repeat sequences constitute 25.52% of the genome assembly. A total of 14,471 protein-coding genes with 98.2% BUSCO completeness were predicted, of which 12,500 genes have been annotated in public biological databases. In conclusion, this reported genome should be a valuable genomic resource for exploring macroevolutionary mechanisms underlying polyembryony, and the molecular mechanisms of polyembryony in M. cingulum.
