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

We generated the first chromosome-level genome assembly for California grunion, Leuresthes tenuis, using PacBio HiFi long reads and Omni-C chromatin-proximity sequencing, yielding a 0.917 Gb genome with a scaffold N50 of 35 Mb and a BUSCO completeness score of 99.37. This beach-spawning marine silverside is the target of a unique recreational hand-grab fishery during its nocturnal spawning runs. Regulation of this fishery, initiated in 1927, remained unchanged from 1949 to 2022, when recent data suggesting a stock decrease led California Department of Fish and Wildlife to reduce the fishing season length. California grunion are endemic to the coast of California and northern Baja California, but within the last two decades the northern limit of spawning has expanded roughly 470 km from Point Conception to north of San Francisco Bay. This genome will facilitate studies addressing the temporal and spatial genetic stock structure, and recent range expansion, of this unique charismatic native species and will also allow assessment of genetic responses to present and future environmental challenges such as changing temperature, and pollution as well as the impacts of harvest and effects of management.
