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

backgroundMicrobial community samples have been accumulating at a speed faster than ever, with hundreds of thousands of samples been sequenced each year. Mining such a huge amount of multisource heterogeneous data is becoming an increasingly difficult challenge, so efficient and accurate compare and search of samples is in urgent need: faced with millions of samples in the data repository, traditional sample comparison and search approaches fall short in speed and accuracy.

findingsHere we proposed Meta-Prism 2.0, a microbial community sample analysis method that has pushed the time and memory efficiency to a new limit without compromising accuracy. Based on sparse data structure, time-saving instruction pipeline, and SIMD optimization, Meta-Prism 2.0 has enabled ultra-fast, memory-efficient, flexible, and accurate search among millions of samples. Meta-Prism 2.0 was put to test on several data sets, with the largest containing 1 million samples. Results show that Meta-Prism 2.0's 0.00001-s per sample pair compare speed and 8-GB memory needs for searching against 1 million samples have made it one of the most efficient sample analysis methods. Additionally, Meta-Prism 2.0 can achieve accuracy comparable with or better than other contemporary methods. Third, Meta-Prism 2.0 can precisely identify the original biome for samples, thus enabling sample source tracking. Finally, we have provided a web server for fast search of microbial community samples online.

conclusionsIn summary, Meta-Prism 2.0 has changed the resource-intensive sample search scheme to an effective procedure, which could be conducted by researchers every day even on a laptop, for insightful sample search, similarity analysis, and knowledge discovery. Meta-Prism 2.0 can be accessed at https://github.com/HUST-NingKang-Lab/Meta-Prism-2.0, and the web server can be accessed at https://hust-ningkang-lab.github.io/Meta-Prism-2.0/.
