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

objectivesFinnsheep, a highly prolific breed of sheep, has been globally exported for improving fertility traits of many sheep breeds. Published genomic studies of Finnsheep have been based on Texel and Rambouillet reference genomes, which may not capture its unique genetic features. Our main objective was to generate a high-quality Finnsheep genome assembly and its annotation that could serve as a breed-specific reference for studying fertility and adaptation in Finnsheep and other short-tailed northern European sheep breeds. DATA DESCRIPTION: We generated a 2.53 Gb assembly using PacBio HiFi long-reads and Hi-C sequencing from a highly fertile Finnsheep ewe. The assembly, scaffolded with Hi-C data has a contig N50 of 35.5 Mb and scaffold N50 of 100.6 Mb. Gene annotation identified 42,533 genes spanning 46.5 Mb of coding region. BUSCO completeness for the assembly and annotation was 94.9% and 84.3%, respectively. This data, including raw reads, assembly, and annotations supports genomic studies of Finnsheep and other prolific breeds of sheep that are particularly adapted to northern European environments.
