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

The reconstruction of microbial genome sequences by bioinformatic pipelines and the consequent functional annotation of their genes' repertoire are fundamental activities aiming at unveiling their biological mechanisms, such as metabolism, virulence factors, and antimicrobial resistances. Here, we describe the development of the MEGAnnotator2 pipeline able to manage all next-generation sequencing methodologies producing short- and long-read DNA sequences. Starting from raw sequencing data, the updated pipeline can manage multiple analyses leading to the assembly of high-quality genome sequences and the functional classification of their genetic repertoire, providing the user with a useful report constituting features and statistics related to the microbial genome. The updated pipeline is fully automated from the installation to the delivery of the output, thus requiring minimal bioinformatics knowledge to be executed.
