Chromosome-level genome assembly of the dung beetle Catharsius molossus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae).
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 1 paper.
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
Dung beetles (Scarabaeinae, Scarabaeidae, Scarabaeoidea, Coleoptera) contribute to ecosystem processes by fragmenting dung, aerating soil, and facilitating nutrient cycling. Among them, Catharsius molossus is a large-bodied tunneler species known for its high dung removal efficiency and ecological significance. It not only exerts an indirect contribution to livestock productivity through dung decomposition, but also holds medicinal value due to its traditional and empirical pharmacological applications. Despite its ecological and economic significance, no genomic data for C. molossus or any species within Catharsius were previously available. In this study, a chromosome-level genome assembly of C. molossus was generated using PacBio HiFi, Illumina, and Hi-C sequencing. The assembled genome is 1.54 Gb in size, with an N50 of 164.06 Mb, 35.36% GC content, and 10 chromosomes. BUSCO completeness reached 94.40%, with 10,009 predicted protein-coding genes, 98.23% functionally annotated. This genomic resource provides a foundation for studying stress responses, functional genomics, and species conservation, supporting further research in ecological and evolutionary studies.
