Pan-SSR architecture in Acrossocheilus fasciatus links cross-assembly repeat conservation, repeat-unit count variation, and genomic context.

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.
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
Microsatellites, or simple sequence repeats (SSRs), are abundant genomic features, but their evolutionary interpretation is often limited by detector-dependent discovery and single-reference surveys that count repeats without resolving homologous repeat states. We characterized pan-SSR architecture in the cyprinid Acrossocheilus fasciatus by integrating four genome assemblies within the AF_xajfe coordinate system. Synthetic ground-truth calibration identified Tandem Repeats Finder as the most accurate and parameter-stable algorithm, and coordinate-anchored merging resolved 499,190 pan-SSR entries comprising 39,150 core, 235,720 dispensable, and 224,320 private components. In homologous shared components, repeat-unit count variation dominated polymorphism (26.2% of core and 22.4% of dispensable SSRs), whereas motif mutations and mixed polymorphisms each remained near 1%. Genomic context differed among categories: core SSRs were preferentially associated with genes and promoters, private SSRs showed the highest classified transposable element overlap, and DNA transposons showed the strongest local association. At 1-Mb genomic resolution, SSR density was inversely associated with GC content (Pearson r = -0.485; Spearman ρ = -0.547), indicating scale-dependent constraints on repeat accumulation. Independent resequencing of 130 libraries from eight river populations showed that neutral/core and gene-associated/core sets could be genotyped in low-depth short-read data and retained population-informative repeat-unit dosage variation, including separation of the QingYiJiang group in weighted principal-component summaries. Together, these results provide a detector-calibrated, coordinate-anchored strategy for repeat evolutionary analysis in non-model vertebrates by comparing homologous SSRs across heterogeneous public assemblies and show that repeat-unit count variation, gene- and transposable-element-associated context, GC background, and short-read genotypability jointly organize the pan-SSR landscape.
