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

Xylocopinae, a diverse bee subfamily comprising over 1,000 bee species, and also a major model system for studying the pollination and evolution of sociality. The lack of chromosome-level genome assembly resources for the Xylocopinae limits our research of their biology and evolution. Here, we provided the first pseudo-chromosomes genome assembly of the Xylocopa dejeanii combined PacBio CLR long reads, Illumina sequences, and Hi-C data. The final genome is 194.44 Mb located in 16 chromosomes. Our assembly includes 141 scaffolds, with a scaffold N50 length of 13.15 Mb. BUSCO analysis revealed 99.00% completeness. Genome annotation identified 28.27 Mb of repetitive elements, 10,970 protein-coding genes, and 432 ncRNAs. This high-quality X. dejeanii assembly advances our understanding of Xylocopinae genomics and provides new insights into bee evolution.
