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

As an agar-producing red seaweed, Gracilaria vermiculophylla plays a significant role in the food industry as well as in multiple fields, including evolutionary studies, genetic diversity analysis, and ecological research. However, a high-quality chromosome-level genome of G. vermiculophylla is not currently available. In this study, we report a high-quality chromosome-level genome for G. vermiculophylla combining short-read, Nanopore long-read, and Hi-C data. The finally assembled genome size is 77.5 Mb, with Contig N50 of 2.61 Mb and Scaffold N50 of 3.16 Mb, comprising 22 pseudochromosomes. The transposable elements (TEs) constituted 45.93 Mb of the G. vermiculophylla genome, with long terminal repeats (LTRs) accounting for 55.03% of the predominant retrotransposons. The G. vermiculophylla genome contains a total of 10,689 protein-coding genes, of which 86.14% have been functionally annotated. The BUSCO evaluation, GC content and sequencing depth assessment demonstrated the high quality of the assembly and the success of the decontamination process. The high-quality genomic information provides an invaluable resource for agar development, evolution studies, comparative genomics, genetic diversity analysis, and ecological research.
