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

We describe a chromosome-level genome assembly from a wild alpine reindeer individual (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) from the Rondane area in Southern Norway. The assembly is resolved into two pseudo-haplotypes: hap 1 spanning 3,081 Mb and hap 2 spanning 2,633 Mb. Contig N50 and scaffold N50 lengths are in the range of 31 to 41 and 66 to 69 Mb, respectively. A large part of these two haplotypes (83.8% and 90.4%, respectively) are scaffolded into 34 autosomal chromosomal pseudomolecules, and in sex chromosomes X and Y for hap 1. The BUSCO completeness scores are 98.0% and 95.2%, respectively, and gene annotations of the assemblies identified 37,998 and 36,977 protein-coding genes. We also present an updated and improved genome assembly for Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus; contig N50 46 to 48 Mb, scaffold N50 67 to 71 Mb, BUSCO 95.4% to 98.0%) and a comparison with previously published genome assemblies of reindeer.
