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

Glass catfish (Kryptopterus vitreolus) is commonly distributed in several Asian countries, such as Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. It is renowned for its near-transparent appearance, which has drawn considerable attention for biomedical research and the tropical ornamental fish industry. Here, we successfully constructed the first telomere-to-telomere (T2T) chromosome-scale genome assembly for glass catfish, by integration of PacBio HiFi, Nanopore ONT ultra-long, and Hi-C sequencing technologies. The haplotypic assembly covers approximately 687.7 Mb in length, featuring a high contig N50 of 21.3 Mb. This assembly was then anchored into 32 chromosomes, presenting a complete set of 64 telomeres and 32 centromeres. It was predicted with 252.4 Mb of repetitive sequences and annotated with a total of 24,696 protein-coding genes. Subsequent BUSCO analysis revealed high genome completeness (up to 96.4%). This high-quality T2T genome assembly not only provides a valuable genetic resource for investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying transparency, but also supports in-depth studies on functional genomics, genetic diversity, and selective breeding for this economically important fish species.
