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

backgroundGiven a sequencing read, the broad goal of read mapping is to find the location(s) in the reference genome that have a "similar sequence". Traditionally, "similar sequence" was defined as having a high alignment score and read mappers were viewed as heuristic solutions to this well-defined problem. For sketch-based mappers, however, there has not been a problem formulation to capture what problem an exact sketch-based mapping algorithm should solve. Moreover, there is no sketch-based method that can find all possible mapping positions for a read above a certain score threshold.

resultsIn this paper, we formulate the problem of read mapping at the level of sequence sketches. We give an exact dynamic programming algorithm that finds all hits above a given similarity threshold. It runs in
