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

The jewel wasp, Nasonia (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), is a well-established model system for evolutionary genetics and host-microbial interactions. Here, we present the genome of N. oneida, a species lacking prior genomic characterization, using 10× Genomics linked-read (400× coverage), Illumina short-read (120× coverage), and transcriptome data (30× coverage). The assembled genome size is 267 Mb, comprising 4,675 scaffolds, with a scaffold N50 of 1 Mb and 98.40% Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologues (BUSCOs) completeness score. Annotation revealed 32.29% (86.46 Mb) of repetitive sequences and 14,221 protein-coding genes. Comparative genomics of N. oneida with 15 other hymenopteran species validated the presence of 5,939 gene families shared among them, including 3643 single-copy and 2296 multicopy gene families. This study provides the first de novo assembly of N. oneida, providing a significant addition to the growing repertoire of molecular tools for comparative genomics and functional studies to understand the evolution of closely related species as well as the evolution of parasitic wasps.
