First Chromosome-level Genome Assembly and Annotation of an Endangered Freshwater Stingray (Fontitrygon garouaensis) from Africa.
Article in Scientific data, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Fontitrygon garouaensis (Smooth Freshwater Stingray) is an evolutionarily distinct and globally endangered species and is currently the only stingray known to be strictly adapted to African freshwater systems. Lack of a reference genome has limited studies of its adaptive evolution and genomic architecture. Here, we present the first chromosome-level genome assembly of F. garouaensis using a hybrid approach that integrates PacBio HiFi long reads, Illumina short reads, and Hi-C chromatin conformation capture. The assembly spans 4.19 Gb with 41 anchored chromosomes, a scaffold N50 of 86.49 Mb, and a contig N50 of 16.58 Mb. Overall, 84.07% of the genome was assigned to chromosomes, with 65.27% repetitive elements. BUSCO analysis showed 93.3% completeness, confirming a highly contiguous genome. We annotated 29,804 protein-coding genes, with 98.28% functionally annotated. Repetitive elements comprised 65.27% of the genome, including lineage-specific expansions of DNA transposons (7.13%) and LTRs (19.31%). This genomic resource establishes a foundation for systematic, evolutionary, and conservation research on this threatened species.
