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

Whole-genome duplication is a major evolutionary force, with salmonids providing a key model system. In this study, we generated a high-quality masu salmon genome using PacBio HiFi, ONT ultra-long and Hi-C sequencing technologies. The final phased assembly includes two haplotypes: HAP1 (2.5 Gb) and HAP2 (2.4 Gb). The contiguity of the assembly is excellent, with scaffold N50 values of 99.28 Mb (HAP1) and 98.82 Mb (HAP2). Notably, the 33 largest scaffolds in each haplotype cover over 99.6% of the genome, approaching chromosome-level scale. The genomic completeness was assessed at 98.3% (HAP1) and 97.7% (HAP2) via BUSCO analysis. Finally, we identified 41,858 and 40,970 protein-coding genes for HAP1 and HAP2, respectively. Furthermore, to enable research into reproductive strategies, we generated 90 transcriptome datasets from the semelparous masu salmon across key post-spawning time points, alongside a comparative dataset of 60 transcriptomes from the iteroparous rainbow trout. Together, these high-quality genomic and transcriptomic resources offer a powerful platform for investigating both post-WGD genome evolution and the molecular basis of semelparity in salmonids.
