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 inclusion of introgressive processes in evolutionary studies induces a less constrained view of evolution. Network-based methods (like large-scale similarity networks) allow to include in comparative genomics all extrachromosomic carriers (like viruses, the most abundant biological entities on the planet) with their cellular hosts. The integration of several levels of biological organization (genes, genomes, communities, environments) enables more comprehensive analyses of gene sharing and improved sequence-based classifications. However, the algorithmic tools for the analysis of such networks are usually restricted to people with high programming skills. We present an integrated suite of software tools named MultiTwin, aimed at the construction, structuring, and analysis of multipartite graphs for evolutionary biology. Typically, this kind of graph is useful for the comparative analysis of the gene content of genomes in microbial communities from the environment and for exploring patterns of gene sharing, for example between distantly related cellular genomes, pangenomes, or between cellular genomes and their mobile genetic elements. We illustrate the use of this tool with an application of the bipartite approach (using gene family-genome graphs) for the analysis of pathogenicity traits in prokaryotes.
