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

Rhinogobio ventralis, a critically endangered freshwater fish endemic to the upper Yangtze River, holds significant ecological and economic value. Here, we present a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of R. ventralis. Using a combination of PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing (>99% single-read accuracy), DNBSEQ-T7 short-read sequencing (95.7% of bases ≥ Q30), and Hi-C scaffolding, we assembled a 1,039.34 Mb genome comprising 478 contigs with a contig N50 of 18.1 Mb. Hi-C data anchored 97.9% of the assembled sequence onto 25 chromosomes. The final assembly is highly complete (BUSCO completeness 96.6%) and accurate (QV 48.22). Repetitive elements account for 63.44% of the genome, with DNA transposons alone representing 42.31%. We predicted 23,246 protein-coding genes, of which 98.6% have functional annotations. This high-quality genome assembly provides a valuable resource for future studies on the genetics, adaptive evolution, and conservation of R. ventralis and other endangered freshwater fishes.
