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

backgroundGenomic Observatories (GOs) are sites of long-term scientific study that undertake regular assessments of the genomic biodiversity. The European Marine Omics Biodiversity Observation Network (EMO BON) is a network of GOs that conduct regular biological community samplings to generate environmental and metagenomic data of microbial communities from designated marine stations around Europe. The development of an effective workflow is essential for the analysis of the EMO BON metagenomic data in a timely and reproducible manner.

findingsBased on the established MGnify resource, we developed metaGOflow. metaGOflow supports the fast inference of taxonomic profiles from GO-derived data based on ribosomal RNA genes and their functional annotation using the raw reads. Thanks to the Research Object Crate packaging, relevant metadata about the sample under study, and the details of the bioinformatics analysis it has been subjected to, are inherited to the data product while its modular implementation allows running the workflow partially. The analysis of 2 EMO BON samples and 1 Tara Oceans sample was performed as a use case.

conclusionsmetaGOflow is an efficient and robust workflow that scales to the needs of projects producing big metagenomic data such as EMO BON. It highlights how containerization technologies along with modern workflow languages and metadata package approaches can support the needs of researchers when dealing with ever-increasing volumes of biological data. Despite being initially oriented to address the needs of EMO BON, metaGOflow is a flexible and easy-to-use workflow that can be broadly used for one-sample-at-a-time analysis of shotgun metagenomics data.
