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 striped venus clam Chamelea gallina is a benthic bivalve relevant for the blue economy of the Adriatic Sea and the European fishery sector. However, the limited genomic resources available for this bivalve hinder the understanding of its biology, adaptability to climate change, and responses to stress factors. Here, we report the first chromosome-level genome assembly of C. gallina. Leveraging a combination of PacBio HiFi, and Illumina sequencing, complemented by Hi-C scaffolding, we generated a 1.81 Gb genome assembly with a scaffold N50 of 100.3 Mb and BUSCO completeness of 95.6%. The final assembly comprises 19 scaffolds matching the species' karyotype, demonstrating high contiguity and structural accuracy. Genome annotation identified 58,203 protein-coding genes, and repetitive regions for 54.40% of the genome. We also assembled the complete mitochondrial genome and confirmed the species identity through phylogenetic analysis. This genomic resource sets the stage for comparative analyses within the genus, the use of molecular markers for product traceability, and for the sustainable management of C. gallina in the context of global changes.
