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

backgroundThe determination of microbial communities using the mothur tool suite (https://www.mothur.org) is well established. However, mothur requires bioinformatics-based proficiency in order to perform calculations via the command-line. Galaxy is a project dedicated to providing a user-friendly web interface for such command-line tools (https://galaxyproject.org/).

resultsWe have integrated the full set of 125+ mothur tools into Galaxy as the Galaxy mothur Toolset (GmT) and provided a set of workflows to perform end-to-end 16S rRNA gene analyses and integrate with third-party visualization and reporting tools. We demonstrate the utility of GmT by analyzing the mothur MiSeq standard operating procedure (SOP) dataset (https://www.mothur.org/wiki/MiSeq_SOP).

conclusionsGmT is available from the Galaxy Tool Shed, and a workflow definition file and full Galaxy training manual for the mothur SOP have been created. A Docker image with a fully configured GmT Galaxy is also available.
