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 Kolbroek pig is indigenous to South Africa and a breed of choice for smallholder farmers. This is mainly due to its characteristics, such as disease resistance and adaptability to tropical agroecological environments. Despite these desirable traits, the genomic architecture of this breed has not been explored. In this study, we report a high-quality genome assembly of the South African Kolbroek pig sequenced at 31 X coverage through a combination of PacBio Sequel IIe HiFi and Illumina Novaseq 6000 Omni-C sequencing. The assembled genome resulted in a length of 2.6 Gb in size, including 83 Scaffolds, which consist of 19 chromosome-size scaffolds with 138.7 Mb. The BUSCO completeness at 95.5%. Genome annotation and structure prediction identified 22,025 genes with protein-coding potential. The genome provides an opportunity to investigate genetic variation across multiple pig breeds and serves as a genetic resource to develop breeding programs for the conservation and improvement of the Kolbroek pig.
