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

Simulated alignments are alternatives to manually constructed multiple sequence alignments for evaluating performance of multiple sequence alignment tools. The importance of simulated sequences is recognized because their true evolutionary history is known, which is very helpful for reconstructing accurate phylogenetic trees and alignments. However, generating simulated alignments require expertise to use bioinformatics tools and consume several hours for reconstructing even a few hundreds of simulated sequences. It becomes a tedious job for an end user who needs a few datasets of variety of simulated sequences. Currently, there is no databank available which may help researchers to download simulated sequences/alignments for their study. Major focus of our study was to develop a database of simulated protein sequences (SAliBASE) based on different varying parameters such as insertion rate, deletion rate, sequence length, number of sequences, and indel size. Each dataset has corresponding alignment as well. This repository is very useful for evaluating multiple alignment methods.
