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 blackchin tilapia (Sarotherodon melanotheron) is an aquaculture species in Southeast Asia, recognized for its adaptability to diverse environmental conditions. Genomic resources for this species remain limited, hindering progress in genetic research and breeding programs. In this study, we generated a high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly of blackchin tilapia by utilizing Illumina short reads, ONT long reads, Hi-C, and RNA sequencing data. The final assembly spans 1,027.41 Mb (scaffold N50 = 38.87 Mb), with 93.42% of the assembly anchored to 22 chromosomes. Genome completeness, assessed using BUSCO, reached 99.50%. We predicted 27,896 protein-coding genes, of which 90.87% were functionally annotated. Repetitive elements accounted for approximately 42.62% of the genome. This chromosome-scale genome assembly provides a reference for comparative genomic and genetic analyses of blackchin tilapia, supporting investigations into the genetic basis of salinity tolerance and traits relevant to aquaculture breeding.
