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

Rapid improvements in DNA sequencing technology have resulted in long genome sequences for a large number of similar isolates with a wide range of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rates, where some isolates can have thousands of times lower SNP rates than others. Genome sequences of this kind are a challenge to existing methods for construction of phylogenetic trees. We address the issues by developing a hierarchical approach to phylogeny construction. In this method, the construction is performed at multiple levels, where at each level, groups of isolates with similar levels of similarity are identified and their phylogenetic trees are constructed. Time savings are achieved by using a sufficiently large number of columns from the input alignment, instead of all its columns. Our results show that the new approach is 20-60 times more efficient than existing programs and more accurate in situations where highly similar isolates have a wide range of SNP rates.
