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

Understanding the relationships between genomic sequences is essential to the classification and characterization of living beings. The classes and characteristics of an organism can be identified in the corresponding genome space. In the genome space, the natural metric is important to describe the distribution of genomes. Therefore, the similarity of two biological sequences can be measured. Here, we report that all of the viral genomes are in 32-dimensional Euclidean space, in which the natural metric is the weighted summation of Euclidean distance of k-mer natural vectors. The classification of viral genomes in the constructed genome space further proves the convex hull principle of taxonomy, which states that convex hulls of different families are mutually disjoint. This study provides a novel geometric perspective to describe the genome sequences.
