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

Suckermouth catfishes, with their evolved powerful features, have become notorious invasive species, causing significant damage to aquatic ecosystems. However, the lack of high-quality genomes severely restricts research on this group within the field. In this study, we de novo assembled the chromosome-level genome assembly of Pterygoplichthys pardalis using multiple platforms of sequencing data, including Illumina short reads, Nanopore long reads, and Hi-C sequencing reads, resulting in a 1.51 Gb genome assembly. Multiple evaluations, including read mapping ratio (98.52%), transcript mapping ratio (99.61%), conserved BUSCO gene set (98.8%), and N50 score (49.47 Mb), indicated the high continuity and accuracy of the genome assembly we generated. Genome annotation found that 0.97 Gb of genome sequences are repetitive sequences, accounting for 64.47% of the genome assembly. Further, 23,859 protein-coding genes were successfully predicted, 92.92% of which could be annotated in functional databases. This high-quality genome assembly of P. pardalis provides a valuable resource for understanding the genetic underpinnings of P. pardalis's invasive success and offers critical data for future fisheries research and management.
