Genome of the tardigrade Cucumibius annulatus: functional annotation and specific proteins.
Article in Functional & integrative genomics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Tardigrades are microscopic invertebrates renowned for their capacity to survive extreme environmental conditions, yet stress tolerance strategies vary substantially across the phylum. Here we present the first genome assembly and annotation for the superfamily Isohypsibioidea - the most basal group within the order Parachela - represented by freshwater species Cucumibius annulatus. The draft genome (73 Mb, N50 = 96.4 kb, BUSCO 87.1%) was assembled from short-read data. Orthogroup-based comparison against three reference tardigrades and two ecdysozoan outgroups (Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster) identified a set of orthogroups unique to C. annulatus. Canonical tardigrade heat-soluble protein families (CAHS, SAHS, MAHS) are present but at lower copy numbers than in other sequenced Parachela, and trehalose biosynthesis enzymes are absent, consistent with the non-anhydrobiotic lifestyle of the species. This study provides a genomic resource for a newly established genus and a comparative framework for interpreting ancestral genomic features of Parachela.
