CHAPAO: Likelihood and hierarchical reference-based representation of biomolecular sequences and applications to compressing multiple sequence alignments.
Article in PloS one, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundHigh-throughput experimental technologies are generating tremendous amounts of genomic data, offering valuable resources to answer important questions and extract biological insights. Storing this sheer amount of genomic data has become a major concern in bioinformatics. General purpose compression techniques (e.g. gzip, bzip2, 7-zip) are being widely used due to their pervasiveness and relatively good speed. However, they are not customized for genomic data and may fail to leverage special characteristics and redundancy of the biomolecular sequences.
resultsWe present a new lossless compression method CHAPAO (COmpressing Alignments using Hierarchical and Probabilistic Approach), which is especially designed for multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) of biomolecular data and offers very good compression gain. We have introduced a novel hierarchical referencing technique to represent biomolecular sequences which combines likelihood based analyses of the sequence similarities and graph theoretic algorithms. We performed an extensive evaluation study using a collection of real biological data from the avian phylogenomics project, 1000 plants project (1KP), and 16S and 23S rRNA datasets. We report the performance of CHAPAO in comparison with general purpose compression techniques as well as with MFCompress and Nucleotide Archival Format (NAF)-two of the best known methods especially designed for FASTA files. Experimental results suggest that CHAPAO offers significant improvements in compression gain over most other alternative methods. CHAPAO is freely available as an open source software at https://github.com/ashiq24/CHAPAO.
conclusionCHAPAO advances the state-of-the-art in compression algorithms and represents a potential alternative to the general purpose compression techniques as well as to the existing specialized compression techniques for biomolecular sequences.
