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 mangrove red snapper (Lutjanus argentimaculatus) is a commercially important marine fish species in the Indo-Pacific region. Despite its significant economic value for aquaculture, existing genomic resources remain fragmented, limiting the advancement of molecular breeding and functional genomic studies. Here, we present a gap-free, telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome assembly of L. argentimaculatus, generated using a hybrid approach combining PacBio HiFi, Oxford Nanopore ultra-long reads and Hi-C technology. The resulting assembly comprises exactly 24 scaffolds spanning 1.03 Gb, perfectly matching the haploid chromosome number with a contig N50 of 46.17 Mb. Notably, this assembly resolves all physical gaps present in previous versions, achieving a BUSCO completeness score of 98.2%. Comprehensive genome annotation successfully predicted 23,167 protein-coding genes. Among these, 22,067 genes (95.25%) were functionally annotated across major public databases, including eggNOG, InterPro, and Swiss-Prot. Furthermore, structural analysis successfully identified 19 telomeres and 20 centromeres, validating the chromosomal integrity. This high-fidelity, gap-free reference genome provides a robust foundation for comparative genomics, population genetics, and the genetic improvement of Lutjanidae species.
