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 lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica) is a globally distributed pest that causes significant post-harvest losses through its rapid reproduction, kernel-boring behavior, and high resistance to phosphine. It is recognized as a major stored-grain pest in China due to its severe damage on grain reserves and economic losses. While a reference genome exists for R. dominica, this study presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of invasive Chinese populations using a combination of Illumina, PacBio HiFi, and Hi-C sequencing data. The genome spans 490.55 Mb, with a scaffold N50 of 56.70 Mb, and is anchored to 9 pseudo-chromosomes. BUSCO analysis revealed 99.3% completeness of the genome assembly. Repetitive sequences constituted 57.71% of the genome, with a total length of 283.09 Mb. Out of 12,958 predicted genes, 12,096 were functionally annotated with at least one supporting evidence. This comprehensive genomic resource offers valuable insights into the genetic mechanisms that could inform stored grain pest management strategies.
