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

It has been more than 20 years since the publication of the C57BL/6J mouse reference genome, which has been a key catalyst for understanding the biology of mammalian diseases. However, the mouse reference genome still lacks telomeres and centromeres, contains 281 chromosomal sequence gaps and only partially represents many biomedically relevant loci. Here we present the first telomere-to-telomere (T2T) mouse genomes for two key inbred strains, C57BL/6J and CAST/EiJ. These T2T genomes reveal substantial variability in telomere and centromere sizes and structural organization. We thus add an additional 213 Mb of new sequence to the reference genome, which contains 517 protein-coding genes. We also examined two important but incomplete loci in the mouse genome-the pseudoautosomal region (PAR) on the sex chromosomes and KRAB zinc-finger protein loci. We identified distant locations of the PAR boundary, different copy numbers and sizes of segmental duplications and a multitude of amino acid substitution mutations in PAR genes.
