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

Formica fusca is an ideal model organism for investigating social behaviour and chemical communication in insects. Here, we present the first high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of F. fusca, generated using PacBio HiFi sequencing and Hi-C scaffolding technologies. The resulting genome assembly spans 535.26 Mb, is anchored to 27 chromosomes, and achieves a scaffold N50 of 20.27 Mb. This assembly comprises 368.74 Mb of repetitive elements and 13,269 protein-coding genes. The chromosome-level genome assembly of F. fusca provides a valuable genomic resource to facilitate studies on insect social organization and the molecular basis of ant social behaviour.
