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

Recent advances in sequencing technologies have enabled the complete assembly of human genomes from telomere to telomere (T2T), resolving previously inaccessible regions such as centromeres and segmental duplications. Here, we present an updated, higher-quality, haplotype-phased T2T assembly of the Chinese Quartet (T2T-CQ), a family cohort comprising monozygotic twins and their parents, generated using high-coverage Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) ultralong and PacBio high-fidelity (HiFi) sequencing. The T2T-CQ assembly serves as a crucial reference genome for integrating publicly available multi-omics data and advances the utility of the Quartet reference materials. The T2T-CQ assembly scores highly on multiple metrics of continuity and completeness, with Genome Continuity Inspector (GCI) scores of 77.76 (maternal) and 76.41 (paternal), 21-mer quality values (QVs) > 66, and Clipping Reveals Assembly Quality (CRAQ) scores > 99.6 for both haplotypes, enabling complete annotation of centromeric regions. Within these regions, we identified novel 13-mer higher-order repeat patterns on chromosome 17 which exhibited a monophyletic origin and emerged approximately 230 thousand years ago. Overall, this work establishes an essential genomic resource for the Han Chinese population and advances the development of a T2T pan-Chinese reference genome, which will significantly enable future investigations both into population-specific structural variants and the evolutionary dynamics of centromeres.
