An Improved Chromosome-Level Genome Assembly and Comprehensive Annotation of the Model Ascidian Ciona savignyi.
Article in Scientific data, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Ciona savignyi is an important model organism across multiple disciplines, including developmental biology, ecology, evolution, and invasion science, and has become increasingly valuable for elucidating the genomic basis of adaptation in a rapidly changing world. Here, we present an improved chromosome-level genome assembly of C. savignyi, generated using a combination of Illumina short-read sequencing, Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing, and High-Throughput Chromosome Conformation Capture (Hi-C). The final assembly spans 200.63 Mb, with a contig N50 of 1.66 Mb and a scaffold N50 of 14.37 Mb, successfully anchored to 13 chromosomes. Interestingly, despite the compact genome, approximately 45% of the genome consists of repetitive sequences. We predicted 15,327 protein-coding genes, of which 96.2% were functionally annotated. This assembly substantially improves the quality and completeness relative to the previous version and represents one of the most contiguous ascidian genomes assembled to date. This genomic resource provides an essential resource for future research using C. savignyi as a model in multiple disciplines.
