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

motivationAdaptive immune receptor (AIR) repertoires (AIRRs) record past immune encounters with exquisite specificity. Therefore, identifying identical or similar AIR sequences across individuals is a key step in AIRR analysis for revealing convergent immune response patterns that may be exploited for diagnostics and therapy. Existing methods for quantifying AIRR overlap scale poorly with increasing dataset numbers and sizes. To address this limitation, we developed CompAIRR, which enables ultra-fast computation of AIRR overlap, based on either exact or approximate sequence matching.

resultsCompAIRR improves computational speed 1000-fold relative to the state of the art and uses only one-third of the memory: on the same machine, the exact pairwise AIRR overlap of 104 AIRRs with 105 sequences is found in ∼17 min, while the fastest alternative tool requires 10 days. CompAIRR has been integrated with the machine learning ecosystem immuneML to speed up commonly used AIRR-based machine learning applications. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: CompAIRR code and documentation are available at https://github.com/uio-bmi/compairr. Docker images are available at https://hub.docker.com/r/torognes/compairr. The code to replicate the synthetic datasets, scripts for benchmarking and creating figures, and all raw data underlying the figures are available at https://github.com/uio-bmi/compairr-benchmarking. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
