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

Hydropotes inermis (Chinese water deer, 2n = 70) is a relatively primitive small Cervidae species naturally distributed along the eastern coast of China and the Korean Peninsula. High-quality genomic resources are essential for investigating its unique adaptive and biological traits. In this study, we assembled the telomere-to-telomere (T2T) gap-free genome of a female H. inermis using PacBio HiFi, Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT), and Hi-C sequencing technologies. The assemblies were 3.45 Gb with a contig N50 of 101.09 Mb in size, which were anchored on 35 chromosomes, carrying 60 telomeres and 35 centromeres. Genome annotation annotated 33.36% repetitive sequences and 24,398 protein-coding genes. Comparative analyses with genomes of closely related species confirmed high genome integrity, continuity, and accuracy, supported by a quality value (QV) of 52.56 and a BUSCO completeness of 99.40%. This study provides a valuable genetic resource for H. inermis and serves as an important reference for investigating the evolutionary history of Cervidae.
