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

China harbors a rich diversity of donkey breeds, with small-sized donkeys (<110 cm) representing a largely underexplored group. Here, we present the first high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly of a small-sized donkey, generated using PacBio HiFi sequencing (286.7 Gb), Hi-C scaffolding (240.47 Gb), and annotated with RNA-seq data. The final assembly has a total length of 2.7 Gb and comprises 32 chromosomes (including both X and Y chromosomes), in which five chromosomes were fully assembled without gaps. It possesses a scaffold N50 of 106.70 Mb and 84 contigs (contig N50 = 63.60 Mb), and captures 99.2% of BUSCO genes. The assembly achieved a consensus quality value (QV) of 77.44, corresponding to an extremely low base-level error rate, indicating exceptional nucleotide accuracy. This high-quality genome provides a valuable resource for investigating genetic variation, adaptive evolution, and domestication processes in small-sized donkeys, and will facilitate the conservation and sustainable utilization of rich donkey genetic resources in China.
