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

The estimation of very large multiple sequence alignments is a challenging problem that requires special techniques in order to achieve high accuracy. Here we describe two software packages-PASTA and UPP-for constructing alignments on large and ultra-large datasets. Both methods have been able to produce highly accurate alignments on 1,000,000 sequences, and trees computed on these alignments are also highly accurate. PASTA provides the best tree accuracy when the input sequences are all full-length, but UPP provides improved accuracy compared to PASTA and other methods when the input contains a large number of fragmentary sequences. Both methods are available in open source form on GitHub.
