cblaster: a remote search tool for rapid identification and visualization of homologous gene clusters.
Article in Bioinformatics advances, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 172 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
Motivation: Genes involved in coordinated biological pathways, including metabolism, drug resistance and virulence, are often collocalized as gene clusters. Identifying homologous gene clusters aids in the study of their function and evolution, however, existing tools are limited to searching local sequence databases. Tools for remotely searching public databases are necessary to keep pace with the rapid growth of online genomic data. Results: Here, we present cblaster, a Python-based tool to rapidly detect collocated genes in local and remote databases. cblaster is easy to use, offering both a command line and a user-friendly graphical user interface. It generates outputs that enable intuitive visualizations of large datasets and can be readily incorporated into larger bioinformatic pipelines. cblaster is a significant update to the comparative genomics toolbox. Availability and implementation: cblaster source code and documentation is freely available from GitHub under the MIT license (github.com/gamcil/cblaster).
