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 reconstruction of phylogenomic trees containing multiple genes is best achieved by using a supermatrix. The advent of NGS technology made it easier and cheaper to obtain multiple gene data in one sequencing run. When numerous genes and organisms are used in the phylogenomic analysis, it is difficult to organize all information and manually align the gene sequences to further concatenate them. This study describes SPLACE, a tool to automatically SPLit, Align, and ConcatenatE the genes of all species of interest to generate a supermatrix file, and consequently, a phylogenetic tree, while handling possible missing data. In our findings, SPLACE was the only tool that could automatically align gene sequences and also handle missing data; and, it required only a few minutes to produce a supermatrix FASTA file containing 83 aligned and concatenated genes from the chloroplast genomes of 270 plant species. It is an open-source tool and is publicly available at https://github.com/reinator/splace.
