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

Genomes are composed of a wide variety of elements with distinct roles and characteristics. Some of these elements are well-characterised functional components such as protein-coding exons. Other elements play regulatory or structural roles, encode functional non-protein-coding RNAs, or perform some other function yet to be characterised. Still others may have no functional importance, though they may nevertheless be of interest to biologists. One technique for investigating the composition of genomes is to segment sequences into compositionally homogenous blocks. This technique, known as 'sequence segmentation' or 'change-point analysis', is used to identify patterns of variation across genomes such as GC-rich and GC-poor regions, coding and non-coding regions, slowly evolving and rapidly evolving regions and many other types of variation. In this mini-review we outline many of the genome segmentation methods currently available and then focus on a Bayesian DNA segmentation algorithm, with examples of its various applications.
