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

The well-known striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus), belonging to the order Siluriformes and the family Pangasiidae, has become an important freshwater economic fish species due to its outstanding growth performance, environmental adaptability and disease resistance. In this study, we reported the first telomere-to-telomere (T2T) gap-free genome assembly of striped catfish, generated by integrating MGI short-read, ONT ultra-long read, PacBio HiFi long read and Hi-C data. A total of 772.03 Mb genome sequences were successfully anchored onto 30 chromosomes, demonstrating exceptional contiguity with a high contig N50 of 26.47 Mb. A comprehensive annotation revealed precise structure of telomeric repeats and centromeric region within each chromosome. In the assembled genome, repetitive elements accounted for 39.53% (305.21 Mb), with DNA transposons (20.77%) as the predominant repeat type. A total of 24,596 protein-coding genes were predicted (BUSCO: 96.21%), and 99.22% of these genes were functionally annotated. Our combined results about identification of telomeric repeats and centromeric regions, BUSCO assessment (99.45%), mapping coverage (99.55%), and Clipping information for Revealing Assembly Quality (CRAQ: 99.62%) support the high quality of this genome assembly. These complete chromosomal sequences will serve as a valuable genetic resource for in-depth biological investigations, evolutionary studies, comparative genomics, and molecular breeding to improve economic value of the striped catfish.
