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 genus Skeletonema stands out as one of the most prevalent and globally distributed diatoms within coastal marine ecosystems. Additionally, it holds significance as a pivotal organism across diverse research domains, encompassing biochemistry, ecophysiology, molecular biology, ecology, oceanography, and aquaculture. This study presents the draft genome assemblies and annotations of 11 strains in 9 Skeletonema species. We generated approximately 13.2-45.4 Gbp (DNA) and 6.0-15.4 Gbp (RNA) of sequencing data and produced draft haploid genomes with total lengths of 40.3-69.3 Mbp and N50 scaffold sizes of 0.35-1.09 Mbp containing 90-98% of orthologs conserved in Stramenopiles. We also identified 5.1-28.4 Mbp (11.0-41.1% of the draft genomes) of repetitive genome sequences and a total number of 15,275-21,376 protein-coding genes. The draft genomes of Skeletonema will facilitate further study, such as population dynamics, phylogeography, the process of speciation, and the evolution of gene function, and help to provide deep insight into the cosmopolitanism of this most successfully prosperous genus.
