rboAnalyzer: A Software to Improve Characterization of Non-coding RNAs From Sequence Database Search Output.
Article in Frontiers in genetics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Searching for similar sequences in a database via BLAST or a similar tool is one of the most common bioinformatics tasks applied in general, and to non-coding RNAs in particular. However, the results of the search might be difficult to interpret due to the presence of partial matches to the database subject sequences. Here, we present rboAnalyzer - a tool that helps with interpreting sequence search result by (1) extending partial matches into plausible full-length subject sequences, (2) predicting homology of RNAs represented by full-length subject sequences to the query RNA, (3) pooling information across homologous RNAs found in the search results and public databases such as Rfam to predict more reliable secondary structures for all matches, and (4) contextualizing the matches by providing the prediction results and other relevant information in a rich graphical output. Using predicted full-length matches improves secondary structure prediction and makes rboAnalyzer robust with regards to identification of homology. The output of the tool should help the user to reliably characterize non-coding RNAs in BLAST output. The usefulness of the rboAnalyzer and its ability to correctly extend partial matches to full-length is demonstrated on known homologous RNAs. To allow the user to use custom databases and search options, rboAnalyzer accepts any search results as a text file in the BLAST format. The main output is an interactive HTML page displaying the computed characteristics and other context of the matches. The output can also be exported in an appropriate sequence and/or secondary structure formats.
