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

Multiple lineages in the family Poeciliidae have independently adapted to hydrogen-sulfide-rich springs. The independent colonizations of such springs mean that there are naturally replicated lineages that provide a powerful model for studying adaptation and convergent evolution. However, there are limited genomic resources for many genera and species across Poeciliidae. Here, we present six high-quality, chromosome-level, annotated genome assemblies for Poecilia and Gambusia populations, five of which are the first for the species or ecotype, and the remaining assembly improved the current reference genome contiguity by more than 100-fold. Using these new assemblies, we compare repeat content and model historical changes in effective population size.
