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

Piaractus brachypomus (red-bellied pacu), native to the Amazon River Basin, is widely known for its rapid growth, disease resistance, and cost-effective feeding, which have led to its widespread introduction and high commercial value worldwide. Despite this, the lack of a reference genome has hindered both genetic and evolutionary studies, as well as the genetic improvement of aquaculture traits. Here, to address this gap, we report the first chromosome-level genome assembly of P. brachypomus using PacBio HiFi long-reads and Hi-C sequencing technologies. The final genome assembly has a total size of 1.34 Gb and exhibits high continuity, with contig N50 of 40.61 Mb. Approximately 99.35% of assembled sequences were anchored into 27 chromosomes, with a BUSCO completeness score of 99.8%. Genome annotation identified 44.83% of repetitive elements and predicted 25,501 protein-coding genes with 99.2% receiving functional annotations. Overall, these findings offer a framework for evolutionary studies and genetic improvement, facilitating marker-assisted and genome-wide selection for the sustainable enhancement of P. brachypomus aquaculture stocks.
