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

The diversity and mosaic architecture of phage genomes present challenges for whole-genome phylogenies and comparative genomics. There are no universally conserved core genes, ∼70% of phage genes are of unknown function, and phage genomes are replete with small (<500 bp) open reading frames. Assembling sequence-related genes into "phamilies" ("phams") based on amino acid sequence similarity simplifies comparative phage genomics and facilitates representations of phage genome mosaicism. With the rapid and substantial increase in the numbers of sequenced phage genomes, computationally efficient pham assembly is needed, together with strategies for including newly sequenced phage genomes. Here, we describe the Python package PhaMMseqs, which uses MMseqs2 for pham assembly, and we evaluate the key parameters for optimal pham assembly of sequence- and functionally related proteins. PhaMMseqs runs efficiently with only modest hardware requirements and integrates with the pdm_utils package for simple genome entry and export of datasets for evolutionary analyses and phage genome map construction.
