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 Characiformes exhibit remarkable dietary diversity, with carnivorous species displaying unique adaptations to high-protein and high-fat diets. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this carnivorous specialization remain poorly understood. In this study, we adopted comparative genomic approaches using 12 high-quality Characiformes genomes (covering nine subfamilies) with zebrafish as an outgroup. We first re-annotated the genomes of five Characiformes species, subsequently performing phylogenetic reconstruction, gene family expansion and contraction analysis, candidate gene identification, and amino acid site substitution analyses. Enrichment analysis revealed that expanded gene families, positively selected genes, and rapidly evolving genes in Characiformes were predominantly linked to amino acid metabolism, lipid absorption and transport, energy metabolism regulation, and chitin-related. Furthermore, amino acid substitutions in
