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

Stone flounder (Kareius bicoloratus) is an emerging commercially important flatfish species in China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, because of its significant industrial value. However, no stone flounder genome sequence was reported to date, which greatly hinders the research on genetics and evolutionary genomics. In this study, we successfully assembled the first gap-free telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome of stone flounder combining Illumina short-reads sequencing, PacBio HiFi sequencing, Hi-C sequencing, and ONT ultra-long sequencing. The genome spans 587.80 Mb with a contig N50 of 25.64 Mb. 98.58% of the genome sequences were assembled onto 24 chromosomes without gaps. Telomeres were identified at both ends of 8 chromosomes and at one end of 15 chromosomes. We identified 128.10 Mb repetitive sequences and 22,312 protein-coding genes, among which 98.03% of the coding genes were functionally annotated. BUSCO assessment, mapping ratio, and quality value (QV) evaluation collectively indicated the high quality and completeness of the genome assembly. This work advances the progress of evolutionary genomics, genetics and molecular genetic breeding research on stone flounder.
