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

Microbial communities are usually highly diverse and often involve multiple strains from the participating species due to the rapid evolution of microorganisms. In such a complex microecosystem, different strains may show different biological functions. While reconstruction of individual genomes at the strain level is vital for accurately deciphering the composition of microbial communities, the problem has largely remained unresolved so far. Next-generation sequencing has been routinely used in metagenome assembly but there have been struggles to generate strain-specific genome sequences due to the short-read length. This explains why long-read sequencing technologies have recently provided unprecedented opportunities to carry out haplotype- or strain-resolved genome assembly. Here, we propose MetaBooster and MetaBooster-HiFi, as two pipelines for strain-aware metagenome assembly from PacBio CLR and Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing data. Benchmarking experiments on both simulated and real sequencing data demonstrate that either the MetaBooster or the MetaBooster-HiFi pipeline drastically outperforms the state-of-the-art
