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

motivationComparative plasmid genome analyses require complex tools, the manipulation of large numbers of sequences and constitute a daunting task for the wet bench experimentalist. Dedicated plasmid databases are sparse, only comprise bacterial plasmids and provide exclusively access to sequence similarity searches.

resultsWe have developed Web-Assisted Symbolic Plasmid Synteny (WASPS), a web service granting protein and DNA sequence similarity searches against a database comprising all completely sequenced natural plasmids from bacterial, archaeal and eukaryal origin. This database pre-calculates orthologous protein clustering and enables WASPS to generate fully resolved plasmid synteny maps in real time using internal and user-provided DNA sequences. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: WASPS queries befit all current browsers such as Firefox, Edge or Safari while the best functionality is achieved with Chrome. Internet Explorer is not supported. WASPS is freely accessible at https://archaea.i2bc.paris-saclay.fr/wasps/. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
