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 first haplotype-resolved chromosome-scale genome assembly for the bighead catfish (Clarias macrocephalus), a freshwater species native to Thailand and Vietnam, which has importance in aquaculture and conservation, is presented here. The 880 Mb genome was assembled using high-fidelity long-read sequencing from Pacific Biosciences and Oxford Nanopore Technologies, which was scaffolded using high-throughput chromosome conformation capture data, and polished with Illumina short-read sequencing. The assembly, which spans 27 pseudo-chromosomes, demonstrates high completeness and continuity, with a scaffold N50 of 33.48 Mb, 95.5% completeness based on Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs (BUSCO), and a quality value (QV) of 50. This genomic resource provides a foundation for studying aquaculture traits, genetic diversity, and structural variation of the bighead catfish and supports efforts in their selective breeding, conservation, and sustainable aquaculture in Southeast Asia.
