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

TADB 3.0 (https://bioinfo-mml.sjtu.edu.cn/TADB3/) is an updated database that provides comprehensive information on bacterial types I to VIII toxin-antitoxin (TA) loci. Compared with the previous version, three major improvements are introduced: First, with the aid of text mining and manual curation, it records the details of 536 TA loci with experimental support, including 102, 403, 8, 14, 1, 1, 3 and 4 TA loci of types I to VIII, respectively; Second, by leveraging the upgraded TA prediction tool TAfinder 2.0 with a stringent strategy, TADB 3.0 collects 211 697 putative types I to VIII TA loci predicted in 34 789 completely sequenced prokaryotic genomes, providing researchers with a large-scale dataset for further follow-up analysis and characterization; Third, based on their genomic locations, relationships of 69 019 TA loci and 60 898 mobile genetic elements (MGEs) are visualized by interactive networks accessible through the user-friendly web page. With the recent updates, TADB 3.0 may provide improved in silico support for comprehending the biological roles of TA pairs in prokaryotes and their functional associations with MGEs.
