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 date less than 5% of shark species have nuclear reference genomes, despite next-generation sequencing advances. Particularly for threatened shark species, there is a lack of reliable genomes which are crucial in facilitating research and conservation applications. We assembled the first nuclear reference genome of the endangered grey reef shark (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos) using long-read PacBio HiFi and Omni-C sequencing to reach chromosome-level contiguity (36 pseudochromosomes; 2.9 Gbp) and high completeness (94% complete BUSCOs). BRAKER3 annotated 16,505 protein-coding genes after masking repetitive elements which accounted for 59% of the genome. We identified potential X and Y sex chromosomes on pseudochromosomes 36 and 57, respectively. The quality and completeness of the draft genome of C. amblyrhynchos will enable researchers to investigate genetic variations and adaptations specific to this species as well as across other Carcharhinus spp., opening new venues for comparative genomics and advancing conservation genetic applications.
