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

Giardia duodenalis, a protozoan parasite of important zoonotic concern, is estimated to cause approximately 280 million human infections annually worldwide. Currently, genome sequencing of G. duodenalis mainly relies on in vitro axenic clones; however, for non-culturable or hard-to-cultivate microorganisms, obtaining sufficient DNA for whole-genome sequencing poses a great challenge. In this study, we isolated ten G. duodenalis trophozoites using single-cell selection technology, followed by the extraction of whole-genome DNA and its amplification via multiple displacement amplification (MDA). The G. duodenalis DNA was sequenced by long-read sequencing (Oxford Nanopore Technologies and Pacific Biosciences), and three main assembly tools (Canu, MECAT2, and RagTag) were used to assemble the sequenced data. As a result, a chromosome-scale genome of G. duodenalis was successfully assembled (assemblage A1 isolate g12a2), with a total genome size of 11.1 Mbp, five contigs, and an N50 value of 3.1 Mbp. This study achieved a chromosome-scale G. duodenalis genome sequencing and assembly from groups of 10 trophozoites, which facilitates protozoan single cell genomics research.
