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

Tineola bisselliella, the webbing clothes moth, is an economically important, globally distributed synanthropic pest species and member of the basal moth lineage Tineidae. These moths are facultatively keratinophagous, and their larvae can cause extensive damage, particularly to clothing, textiles, and museum specimens. Despite the economic and phylogenetic importance of T. bisselliella, there is a lack of quality genomic resources for this, or for other species within the Tineidae family. The T. bisselliella genome assembly presented here consists of 30 pseudochromosomes (29 autosomes and 1 Z chromosome) produced using synteny alignment of a preliminary contig-level assembly (256 contigs) to a closely related species, Tinea pellionella. The resulting final pseudochromosome-level assembly is 243.630 Mb and has an N50 length of 8.708 Mb. The assembly is highly contiguous and has similar or improved quality compared to other available Tineidae genomes, with 93.1% (91.8% single copy and 1.3% duplicated) of lepidopteran orthologs complete and present. Annotation of the pseudochromosome-level genome assembly with the transcriptome we produced ultimately yielded 11,259 annotated genes. Synteny alignments between the T. bisselliella genome assembly and other Tineidae genomes revealed evidence for numerous small rearrangements with high synteny conservation. In contrast, a synteny alignment performed between T. bisselliella and Melitaea cinxia, which is thought to have retained the ancestral karyotype (n = 31), revealed a fusion of the ancestral autosome 30 and Z chromosome that led to a reduction in T. bisselliella karyotype size. The reference quality annotated genome for T. bisselliella presented here will advance our understanding of the evolution of the lepidopteran karyotype by providing a chromosome-level genome for this basal moth lineage and provide future insights into the mechanisms underlying keratin digestion in T. bisselliella.
