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 present a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of the Japanese sparrowhawk (Accipiter gularis), a migratory raptor widely distributed across East Asia. The genome was assembled using a combination of Single-Tube Long Fragment Read (stLFR) sequencing and Hi-C chromatin conformation capture, resulting in a 1.19 Gb genome with a scaffold N50 of 43.17 Mb. Genome completeness assessment using Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs (BUSCO) recovered 97.2% of conserved avian genes, indicating a high level of completeness. A total of 20,808 protein-coding genes were predicted, of which 92% were functionally annotated based on multiple public databases. Repetitive elements accounted for 7.95% of the genome, with retroelements forming the major component. Chromosome-level scaffolding enabled the anchoring of 98.9% of the assembled sequences onto 33 chromosomes, including 31 autosomes and the Z and W sex chromosomes. Comparative synteny analysis with A. gentilis revealed a high degree of chromosomal conservation, supporting the structural accuracy of the assembly. All raw sequencing data, genome assembly, and annotation files have been deposited in public repositories. This chromosome-level genome assembly provides a valuable genomic resource for studies of raptor evolution, migration ecology, population genomics, and comparative analyses within Accipitridae.
