MAIRA: Protein-based Analysis of MinION Reads on a Laptop.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Third-generation sequencing technologies are being increasingly used in microbiome research and this has given rise to new challenges in computational microbiome analysis. Oxford Nanopore's MinION is a portable sequencer that streams data that can be basecalled on-the-fly. Here we give an introduction to the MAIRA software, which is designed to analyze MinION sequencing reads from a microbiome sample, as they are produced in real-time, on a laptop. The software processes reads in batches and updates the presented analysis after each batch. There are two analysis steps: First, protein alignments are calculated to determine which genera might be present in a sample. When strong evidence for a genus is found, then, in a second step, a more detailed analysis is performed by aligning the reads against the proteins of all species in the detected genus. The program presents a detailed analysis of species, antibiotic resistance genes, and virulence factors.
