WebQUAST: online evaluation of genome assemblies.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 80 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
Selecting proper genome assembly is key for downstream analysis in genomics studies. However, the availability of many genome assembly tools and the huge variety of their running parameters challenge this task. The existing online evaluation tools are limited to specific taxa or provide just a one-sided view on the assembly quality. We present WebQUAST, a web server for multifaceted quality assessment and comparison of genome assemblies based on the state-of-the-art QUAST tool. The server is freely available at https://www.ccb.uni-saarland.de/quast/. WebQUAST can handle an unlimited number of genome assemblies and evaluate them against a user-provided or pre-loaded reference genome or in a completely reference-free fashion. We demonstrate key WebQUAST features in three common evaluation scenarios: assembly of an unknown species, a model organism, and a close variant of it.
