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

The Chinese bahaba (Bahaba taipingensis) is a critically endangered species found in the coastal waters of the South China Sea and East China Sea, which has garnered significant attention due to its ecological, economic, and medicinal value. In this study, we present a high-quality genome assembly of the Chinese bahaba. By employing a combination of PacBio HiFi, ONT ultra-long and Hi-C sequencing data, we assembled 686.86 Mb genome sequences, consisting of 83 contigs with a contig N50 of 30.02 Mb. Then, the initial assembly was further anchored onto 24 chromosomes, of which only 2 contain 3 gaps and 8 have telomeres at both ends. Percentages of 96.5% of complete BUSCOs were achieved, and a total of 22,100 protein-coding genes were annotated. We performed transcriptome analysis across nine tissues (heart, intestine, kidney, liver, muscle, skin, spleen, stomach, swim bladder). The result revealed higher expression levels of col1a1 and col1a2 in swim bladder, which may contribute to massive collagen deposition in this tissue. This high-quality assembly provides a valuable resource for studying the genetic basis of key biological traits (e.g., swim bladder collagen synthesis, otolith development) and will assist future investigations into the conservation genomics of B. taipingensis.
