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 hawthorn spider mite, Amphitetranychus viennensis, is a major pest of orchards and ornamentals in the Palaearctic region, with adaptability and acaricide resistance. The lack of high-quality genomic resources limits understanding of its detoxification mechanisms and the development of RNAi-based pest control strategies. In this study, we utilized Illumina, Pacific Biosciences (PacBio), and Hi-C sequencing technologies to assemble a chromosome-level reference genome of A. viennensis. The assembled genome spans 141.96 Mb, with a contig N50 of 1.35 Mb. BUSCO analysis confirmed a high level of completeness, covering 91.6% of annotated genes. The assembly includes 50.97 Mb of repetitive sequences, representing 35.93% of the genome, and annotates 13,968 protein-coding genes. Using Hi-C sequencing, we anchored 47 contigs to three chromosomes, accounting for 97.27% of the estimated nuclear genome and achieving a contig N50 of 45.83 Mb. This high-quality genome assembly provides a valuable foundation for evolutionary and genomic research on spider mites, while also serving as a genetic resource to inform molecular control strategies and support sustainable pest management.
