Chromosome-level genome assembly of the sea cucumber, Colochirus anceps.
Article in Scientific data, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Colochirus anceps is a benthic sea cucumber recognized for its striking aposematic coloration, ecological role in nutrient recycling, and biomedical potential. In this study, we utilized Illumina short-read, PacBio HiFi long-read, and Hi-C sequencing technologies to assemble the chromosome-level genome of C. anceps. This represents the first genome assembly for the order Dendrochirotida within the class Holothuroidea. The assembled genome has a total size of 2,238.33 Mb, with a contig N50 of 15.09 Mb, and 95.09% of the assembly sequences have been anchored to 23 chromosomes. Annotation identified 24,102 protein-coding genes and revealed a high repeat content of 70.95%. The genome achieved a completeness score of 94.3%, as evaluated through BUSCO analysis. This genome assembly provides valuable insights into the genomic architecture and evolutionary dynamics of sea cucumbers, laying a foundation for exploring their unique biological traits, adaptability, and diversity.
