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

Microbiome samples with low microbial biomass or severe DNA degradation remain challenging for amplicon-based or whole-metagenome sequencing approaches. Here, we introduce 2bRAD-M, a highly reduced and cost-effective strategy which only sequences ~ 1% of metagenome and can simultaneously produce species-level bacterial, archaeal, and fungal profiles. 2bRAD-M can accurately generate species-level taxonomic profiles for otherwise hard-to-sequence samples with merely 1 pg of total DNA, high host DNA contamination, or severely fragmented DNA from degraded samples. Tests of 2bRAD-M on various stool, skin, environmental, and clinical FFPE samples suggest a successful reconstruction of comprehensive, high-resolution microbial profiles.
