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

Humphead wrasse, Cheilinus undulatus, is an endangered fish species with high economic and ecological value as well as natural sex change from female to male, while sexual selection occurs in breeding aggregations. In our present study, we constructed the first gap-free telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome assembly for humphead wrasse, by integration of PacBio HiFi, ONT Ultra-long and Hi-C sequencing techniques. With 99% of the entire sequences anchored into 24 chromosomes, this haplotypic genome assembly spans approximately 1.25 Gb and presents a complete set of 48 telomeres and 24 centromeres. In terms of correctness (quality value QV: 53.447) and completeness (BUSCO score: 99.3%), this chromosome-scale assembly is indeed of high quality. We predicted 658.03 Mb of repetitive sequences and annotated 26,609 protein-coding genes in the assembled genome. This high-quality T2T genome assembly not only facilitates the genetic conservation of humphead wrasse, but also offers fundamental genomic data for supporting in-depth investigations on functional genomics, genetic diversity, and selective breeding for this economically important teleost.
