A telomere-to-telomere gapless genome assembly of the Tibetan wild ass (Equus kiang).
Article in Scientific data, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
As a First-Class Protected species in China, the Tibetan wild ass (Equus kiang) is endemic to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and exhibits remarkable adaptation to extreme high-altitude environments characterized by low oxygen, cold temperatures, and high UV radiation. To explore its genetic basis and evolutionary adaptations, we generated the first telomere-to-telomere (T2T) gapless genome using an integrated sequencing strategy that combined PacBio HiFi, ultra-long Oxford Nanopore (ONT), Hi-C, and BGI short-read technologies. The resulting 2.49 Gb assembly achieved a contig N50 of 107.02 Mb, comprising all 54 telomeres and 27 centromeres across 25 pairs of autosomes and the X/Y chromosomes, and reached 99.94% BUSCO completeness. Genome annotation predicted 907 Mb of repetitive sequences (36.52% of the genome) and 24,005 protein-coding genes. Comparative and technical analyses confirmed high assembly continuity, completeness, and accuracy, with a consensus quality value (QV) of 64.73, providing a robust genomic reference for understanding the evolutionary mechanisms and adaptive traits of this iconic high-altitude ungulate.
