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

The Siberian crane (Leucogeranus leucogeranus) is classified as Critically Endangered by the IUCN. Its current estimated population is over 6,900 individuals in East Asia, whereas the Western/Central Asian population is nearly extinct, with no recent records of its presence in the wild. Here, we present a high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly of the Siberian crane generated by integrating Nanopore long-read data, MGISEQ-2000 short-read data, and Hi-C technology data. The assembled genome spans 1.31 Gb, with a scaffold N50 of 83.45 Mb, comprising 33 chromosomes and additional unplaced scaffolds. BUSCO assessment indicated that 97.3 percent of genes in the genome assembly are complete. We identified 10.9 percent repetitive sequences and 21,678 protein-coding genes, of which 88 percent were successfully assigned functional annotations. This high-quality genome assembly and annotation provide a valuable genomic resource for comparative genomic research aimed at understanding the ecology, evolutionary adaptations, and development of Gruidae birds.
