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 ornate shrew (Sorex ornatus) is a small predatory mammal with a broad distribution in northern, central, and southern California as well as in Baja California, Mexico. The ornate shrew is a highly productive consumer in wetland environments and is known to hybridize with the closely related vagrant shrew, Sorex vagrans. Here we present a high-quality de novo genome assembly for S. ornatus generated as a part of the California Conservation Genomics Project. The S. ornatus genome was generated using PacBio HiFi long reads and Omni-C chromatin interaction sequencing. The primary assembly is highly contiguous, with a contig N50 of 15.9 Mb, a scaffold N50 of 115.2 Mb, and a BUSCO completeness score of 95.10%. The ornate shrew genome will serve as a valuable resource for future North American Sorex conservation genomics as well as for research into shrew biology more generally.
