SEQ2MGS: an effective tool for generating realistic artificial metagenomes from the existing sequencing data.
Article in NAR genomics and bioinformatics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Assessment of bioinformatics tools for the metagenomics analysis from the whole genome sequencing data requires realistic benchmark sets. We developed an effective and simple generator of artificial metagenomes from real sequencing experiments. The tool (SEQ2MGS) analyzes the input FASTQ files, precomputes genomic content, and blends shotgun reads from different sequenced isolates, or spike isolate(s) in real metagenome, in desired proportions. SEQ2MGS eliminates the need for simulation of sequencing platform variations, reads distributions, presence of plasmids, viruses, and contamination. The tool is especially useful for a quick generation of multiple complex samples that include new or understudied organisms, even without assembled genomes. For illustration, we first demonstrated the ease of SEQ2MGS use for the simulation of altered Schaedler flora (ASF) in comparison with
