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

Yaoshania pachychilus (Gastromyzontidae, Cypriniformes) is a benthic species inhabiting torrential mountain streams, where it attaches to rocks using adhesive pelvic and pectoral fins. Its juvenile black-white coloration has made it popular in the ornamental fish trade, yet wild populations face increasing threats. Here, we present the first chromosome-level genome assembly for this species, generated using PacBio HiFi and Hi-C technologies. The final assembly spans 451.24 Mb, with a contig N50 of 9.87 Mb, and 99.2% of the sequences are anchored onto 25 pseudo-chromosomes. We annotated repetitive elements accounting for 27.8% of the genome and predicted 21,816 protein-coding genes. BUSCO completeness exceeded 97% for both the genome assembly and gene annotation. This reference genome provides a valuable resource for investigating torrent adaptation and pigmentation in Y. pachychilus, and also supports broader phylogenomic and adaptive evolution studies across Gastromyzontidae.
