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

Nodularia douglasiae is a freshwater mussel widely distributed across East and Southeast Asia. This species belongs to the order Unionida, many of which are globally threatened. Unionid mussels play significant ecological roles in freshwater ecosystems, and their life cycle includes a parasitic larval stage that depends on freshwater fishes for development and dispersal. Despite their ecological and conservation significance, genomic resources for unionids remain underrepresented. Here, we report the first genome assembly and transcriptome data for the genus Nodularia. Using PacBio reads, polished with Illumina data, and scaffolded via error-corrected long reads, we generated a 1.98 Gb unique haplotig genome assembly with 3,060 scaffolds (N50: 1.62 Mb). A total of 36,556 protein-coding genes were predicted, with 98.2% BUSCO completeness against the metazoan database. Transcriptome analysis across four different tissue types (adductor muscle, foot, gill, and mantle) revealed 5,253 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with 3,242 assigned Gene Ontology terms. These high-quality genomic resources provide a valuable reference for comparative genomics, evolutionary and ecological studies, and conservation of threatened freshwater mussels.
