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

importanceThe Flankophile pipeline enables the analysis and visualization of flanking regions of prokaryotic sequences of interest on large data sets in one step and in a consistent manner. A specific tool for flanking region analysis with automated visualization has not been developed before, and Flankophile will make flanking region analysis easier and accessible to more people. Flankophile will be especially useful in the field of genomic epidemiology of acquired antimicrobial resistance genes. Here, information from flanking region sequences can be instrumental in rejecting or supporting the possibility of a recent common source of the same resistance gene found in different samples.
