A chromosome-level genome assembly of beet webworm, Loxostege sticticalis Linnaeus (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae).
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 2 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
The beet webworm, Loxostege sticticalis Linnaeus (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae), is a major pest in agriculture and livestock production. However, the L. sticticalis genome has not yet been sequenced, limiting exploration of its biological features and population genetics. In this study, the genome of L. sticticalis was sequenced on the Illumina Novaseq. 6000 and PacBio Sequel II platforms, and chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) methods were used to generate the high-quality chromosome-level genome, assessed at 98.7% by the Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs (BUSCO) tool. The L. sticticalis genome showed an assembly of 485.9 Mb with a contig N50 of 16.4 Mb, a scaffold N50 of 16.6 Mb, and a GC content of 37.85%, with over 98.67% of the assembled bases located on 31 chromosomes. Repeat sequences accounted for 41.71% of the genome and 15 913 protein-coding genes were identified. Comparison of the genome of L. sticticalis with other closely related species indicated high chromosomal synteny. The sequencing of this genome contributes to research on the genetics and evolution of the Lepidoptera.
