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

To investigate the evolution of the batrachochytrids Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) and Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) that are responsible for amphibian declines and extinctions, a new genome assembly was assembled. Prior to 2022, only a highly fragmented short-read assembly of Bsal's genome assembly had been generated and made available, largely owing to its repeat-richness. In 2022, a new assembly based on deep nanopore long-read sequencing provided a much-needed improvement in both contiguity and completeness. Here, the road map to assembling and polishing a highly repeat-rich chytrid fungus genome using both long and short reads is described, detailing the methodology for each step, and explaining the rationales underpinning those steps. Considerations for tailoring this methodology to other similar genome assemblies are illustrated.
