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

Computing similarity between 2 nucleotide sequences is one of the fundamental problems in bioinformatics. Current methods are based mainly on 2 major approaches: (1) sequence alignment, which is computationally expensive, and (2) faster, but less accurate, alignment-free methods based on various statistical summaries, for example, short word counts. We propose a new distance measure based on mathematical transforms from the domain of signal processing. To tolerate large-scale rearrangements in the sequences, the transform is computed across sliding windows. We compare our method on several data sets with current state-of-art alignment-free methods. Our method compares favorably in terms of accuracy and outperforms other methods in running time and memory requirements. In addition, it is massively scalable up to dozens of processing units without the loss of performance due to communication overhead. Source files and sample data are available at https://bitbucket.org/fiitstubioinfo/swspm/src.
