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

Metagenomics provides detection of phage genome sequences in various microbial communities. However, the use of alternative genetic codes by some phages precludes the correct analysis of their genomes. In this study, the unusual phage genome (phAss-1, 135,976 bp) was found after the de novo assembly of the human gut virome. Genome analysis revealed the presence of the TAG stop codons in 41 ORFs, including characteristic phage ORFs, and three genes of suppressor tRNA. Comparative analysis indicated that no phages with similar genomes were described. However, two phage genomes (BK046881_ctckW2 and BK025033_ct6IQ4) with substantial similarity to phAss-1 were extracted from the human gut metagenome data. These two complete genomes demonstrated 82.7% and 86.4% of nucleotide identity, respectively, similar genome synteny to phAss-1, the presence of suppressor tRNA genes and suppressor TAG stop codons in many characteristic phage ORFs. These data indicated that phAss-1, BK046881_ctckW2, and BK025033_ct6IQ4 are distinct species within the proposed
