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

motivationBeyond identifying genetic variants, we introduce a set of Boolean relations, which allows for a comprehensive classification of the relations of every pair of variants by taking all minimal alignments into account. We present an efficient algorithm to compute these relations, including a novel way of efficiently computing all minimal alignments within the best theoretical complexity bounds.

resultsWe show that these relations are common, and many non-trivial, for variants of the CFTR gene in dbSNP. Ultimately, we present an approach for the storing and indexing of variants in the context of a database that enables efficient querying for all these relations. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: A Python implementation is available at https://github.com/mutalyzer/algebra/tree/v0.2.0 as well as an interface at https://mutalyzer.nl/algebra.
