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 red-legged partridge Alectoris rufa plays a crucial role in the ecosystem of southwestern Europe, and understanding its genetics is vital for conservation and management. Here we sequence, assemble, and annotate a highly contiguous and nearly complete version of its genome. This assembly encompasses 96.9% of the avian genes flagged as essential in the BUSCO aves_odb10 dataset. Moreover, we pinpointed RNA and protein-coding genes, 95% of which had functional annotations. Notably, we observed significant chromosome rearrangements in comparison to quail (Coturnix japonica) and chicken (Gallus gallus). In addition, a comparative phylogenetic analysis of these genomes suggests that A. rufa and C. japonica diverged roughly 20 million years ago and that their common ancestor diverged from G. gallus 35 million years ago. Our assembly represents a significant advancement towards a complete reference genome for A. rufa, facilitating comparative avian genomics, and providing a valuable resource for future research and conservation efforts for the red-legged partridge.
