The complete mitochondrial genome of Holothuria atra (Holothuriida: Holothuriidae: Holothuria) and its structural characteristics.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Sea cucumbers, as typical representatives of deep-sea benthic animals, possess significant scientific and economic importance. This investigation examined the genomic structural characteristics and genetic evolutionary relationships of Holothuria atra through the analysis of its complete mitochondrial genome. The findings indicated that the total length of the mitochondrial genome of the H. atra specimen was 15,788 bp, encompassing seven NADH genes, three cox genes, two ATP genes, and one cob gene. Additionally, two rRNAs and 22 tRNAs were identified. The entire sequence contained a total of 18 non-coding regions and seven overlapping gene regions, with the combined A + T content reaching 59.2%. The lengths of the 22 tRNAs ranged from 62 to 72 base pairs, and their cloverleaf secondary structures were predicted. Regarding codon usage, the PCGs within the mitochondrial genome of H. atra utilized 61 codons, encoding information for 20 amino acids. The most abundantly encoded amino acid in the mitochondrial genome of H. atra is leucine (Leu), representing 16.58%, while cysteine (Cys) is the least represented, accounting for 1.03%. Codons with higher usage frequencies include AGA (Ser 1), CUA (Leu 1), and CCA (Pro), whereas those with comparatively lower frequencies are GCG (Ala), CCG (Pro), and AGG (Ser 1). Evolutionary analysis revealed that H. atra is most closely related to Holothuria polii. By comparing the mitochondrial genomic sequences of 19 species within the class Holothuroidea, it was observed that eight mitochondrial sequences are shared among these species. This study provides valuable data supporting genetic evolutionary research and the development and utilization of H. atra resources within the Kiribati region.
