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

We generated nuclear and mitochondrial chromosome-scale genome assemblies for Istiblennius linneatus (Valenciennes, 1836), an amphibious fish of the family Blenniidae. The assemblies were produced from Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) High Fidelity (HiFi) long-read data and Arima high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) technology. The nuclear genome assembly is 643.23 Mb in size, with a scaffold N50 of 24 Mb, a contig N50 of 6.39 Mb, and a GC content of 43.34%. We reconstructed the 24 pseudochromosomes expected from karyotype studies, which account for 86.95% of the genome assembly. After manual assembly curation, the obtained genome assembly is highly complete (97.3% BUSCO completeness) and free of haplotypic duplication and contaminations. The genome was annotated using direct RNA-seq and protein homology evidence, obtaining 27,357 gene models (95.4% BUSCO completeness). Genome size and macro-synteny is overall conserved with other available combtooth blenny genomes. The mitochondrial genome is 16.5 kb in length and has the gene content and order typical of the family and of most vertebrates. These new genomic resources can provide new insights into the ecology and evolutionary history of Istiblennius.
