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

objectivesThe Jaguar (Panthera onca) is a large cat species native to the Americas. Despite being successful predators, jaguar populations have declined due to habitat loss. Genome resources can help in conservation efforts as well as in understanding the interesting biology of these Felids. Beside contiguity, a well annotated reference genome provides contextual information for variants that will benefit the design of appropriate conservation programs. DATA DESCRIPTION: We sequenced material from two individuals using a combination of ONT reads and Illumina PE. The resulting nuclear genome assembly has a larger contig N50 (48.04 Mb) compared with the existing annotated chromosome-level assembly published by the DNA Zoo project. Using public Hi-C data, we obtained an improved chromosome-level assembly of the Jaguar genome (mPanOnc3.5) with larger contigs, 99.85% of the sequence assigned to chromosomes and 25,267 protein coding genes annotated. Overall, this improved assembly provides a better reference to study this threatened species.
