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

Cold seeps are unique and important deep-sea ecosystems characterized by chemosynthesis. The deep-sea limpet Bathyacmaea lactea is an endemic and ecologically important species inhabiting these extreme environments, representing an ideal model for studying adaptation and evolution in cold seeps. To provide a high-quality genomic resource for this purpose, we therefore report a high-quality chromosome-level genome for B. lactea, combining PacBio, Illumina, and high-resolution chromosome conformation capture techniques. The assembly spans 769.80 Mb, with contig and scaffold N50 values of 1.27 Mb and 82.05 Mb, respectively, and ultimately yielded 10 chromosome sequences. BUSCO assessment revealed a completeness score of 96.90%, indicating a high-quality genome assembly. Gene annotations showed a high level of accuracy and completeness, with 21,122 predicted protein-coding genes. As the first chromosome-level genome of the deep-sea limpet, it complements a previously reported contig-level assembly. By anchoring the genome to the chromosome level, this assembly offers a more complete and structured genomic resource, facilitating future studies on the evolution and adaptation of cold-seep animals.
