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

Thanatophilus sinuatus (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae), a widespread necrophagous beetle frequently recovered from remains, is critical for post-mortem interval estimation. The absence of a reference genome has limited molecular studies of its forensic traits. Here, we report the first high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly of T. sinuatus, built using PacBio HiFi, Illumina, and Hi-C data. The 288.95 Mb genome has a scaffold N50 of 18.97 Mb, with 98.37% of sequence (284.24 Mb) anchored to 16 chromosomes. BUSCO analysis (Insecta, n = 1,367) reveals 98.6% completeness with 97.3% single-copy BUSCOs and 1.3% duplicated BUSCOs. Repetitive elements comprise 34.32% of the assembly, and 12,300 protein-coding genes were predicted. This high-quality genome provides a valuable genomic resource for elucidating Silphinae comparative genomics, the genetic mechanisms underlying traits of forensic interest.
