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

Octopuses are phenotypically distinctive organisms, and recent genomic work raises questions about the contributions of transposable elements (TEs) to their genomic architecture. We leveraged a robust repeat annotation pipeline, in combination with manual and automated curatorial techniques, to produce a more comprehensive repeat annotation of Octopus vulgaris. This revealed that ∼66% of the genome are repeats, in contrast to previous estimates of 43% to 50% in closely related octopus species. Whereas previous studies of TE expansion in Octopus bimaculoides identified two bursts of activity, 25 and 56 MYA, our re-annotation revealed four such expansions at 18, 25, 33, and 56 MYA. We further identified a landscape of TE hot- and cold spots. This refined TE timescape and landscape will serve as a useful basis for understanding TE contributions to O. vulgaris evolution, also for identifying factors contributing to variation in the TE community across genomic space and evolutionary time.
