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

By the integration of MGI short-read sequencing, PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing, and Hi-C techniques, we constructed a chromosome-scale genome assembly for Holothuria fuscocinerea, a highly abundant and widely distributed sea cucumber species in the family Holothuriidae. The assembly was anchored into 23 pseudochromosomes with a total size of 1.556 Gb after redundancy removal, demonstrating contig and scaffold N50 values of 5.18 Mb and 63.82 Mb, respectively, indicative of high contiguity. Genome quality assessment using Merqury and BUSCO analyses yielded a QV score of 60.4087 and a BUSCO completeness rate of 97.8%, confirming high assembly quality with minimal gaps. Among the 29,878 protein coding genes, 95 percent obtained functional annotations from at least one database. This high-resolution genome resource is expected to advance research on H. fuscocinerea and the Holothuroidea class, providing insights for population management, evolutionary studies, and genetics research.
