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

Troglonectes daqikongensis is an obligate cave-dwelling fish with a narrowly restricted distribution in southwestern China and pronounced troglomorphic traits. Despite its ecological and evolutionary significance, genomic resources for this species remain scarce. Here, we report a chromosome-level reference genome of Troglonectes daqikongensis, assembled using PacBio HiFi long reads, Hi-C data, and MGI T7 short reads. The final assembly spans 615.17 Mb across 47 scaffolds, with a contig N50 of 20.92 Mb and a scaffold N50 of 23.57 Mb. In total, 97.96% of the assembly was anchored to 25 pseudo-chromosomes. Repetitive elements comprise 276.51 Mb, accounting for 44.95% of the genome. A total of 24,652 protein-coding genes were predicted using a combination of de novo prediction, homology-based annotation, and transcriptome evidence, with 99.89% functionally annotated. BUSCO assessments indicated high completeness for both the genome assembly (96.6%) and gene annotation (95.5%). This high-quality genome provides a foundational resource for evolutionary and ecological research, including studies on the genetic basis of cave adaptation and the conservation of the microendemic species Troglonectes daqikongensis.
