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

A recently published article in BMCGenomics by Fuentes-Trillo et al. contains a comparison of assembly approaches of several noroviral samples via different tools and preprocessing strategies. It turned out that the study used outdated versions of tools as well as tools that were not designed for the viral assembly task. In order to improve the suboptimal assemblies, authors suggested different sophisticated preprocessing strategies that seem to make only minor contributions to the results. We have reproduced the analysis using state-of-the-art tools designed for viral assembly, and we demonstrate that tools from the SPAdes toolkit (rnaviralSPAdes and coronaSPAdes) allow one to assemble the samples from the original study into a single contig without any additional preprocessing.
