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

Since advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technique enabled to investigate uncultured microbiota and their genomes in unbiased manner, many microbiome researches have been reporting strong evidences for close links of microbiome to human health and disease. Bioinformatic and statistical analysis of NGS-based microbiome data are essential components in those microbiome researches to explore the complex composition of microbial community and understand the functions of community members in relation to host and environment. This chapter introduces bioinformatic analysis methods that generate taxonomy and functional feature count table along with phylogenetic tree from raw NGS microbiome data and then introduce statistical methods and machine learning approaches for analyzing the outputs of the bioinformatic analysis to infer the biodiversity of a microbial community and unravel host-microbiome association. Understanding the advantages and limitations of the analysis methods will help readers use the methods correctly in microbiome data analysis and may give a new opportunity to develop new analytic techniques for microbiome research.
