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

Earthworms have been extensively studied as ancient soil invertebrates, that are highly diverse. Previous studies of these invertebrates have mainly focused on their ecosystem services, medicinal value, and ecological habits. However, their genomic analysis remains inadequate. In this study, we generated the first high-quality telomere-to-telomere (T2T) assembly of the genome of the earthworm, Amynthas aspergillum (Perrier, 1872), which belongs to the genus Amynthas of the family Megascolecidae. The T2T assembly was 758.86 Mb with an N50 contig size of 16.59 Mb. The sequences were anchored to 43 chromosomes (2n = 2x = 86) with a coverage of 98.43% (746.95 Mb), and 83 telomeres were detected. In addition, we also predicted 35,723 protein-coding genes with 97.02% being functionally annotated. This T2T genome assembly will establish substantial groundwork for exploring the evolutionary mechanisms of the earthworm genome and enhance the specificity of its pharmacological effects.
