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

motivationUnderstanding the molecular evolutionary history of organisms usually requires visual comparison of genomic regions from related species or strains. Although several applications already exist to achieve this task, they are either too old, too limited, or too complex for most user's needs.

resultsGenoFig is a graphical application for the visualization of prokaryotic genomic regions, intended to be as easy to use as possible and flexible enough to adapt to a variety of needs. GenoFig allows the personalized representation of annotations extracted from GenBank files in a consistent way across sequences, using regular expressions. It also provides several unique options to optimize the display of homologous regions between sequences, as well as other more classical features such as sequence GC percent or GC-skew representations. In summary, GenoFig is a simple, free, and highly configurable tool to explore the evolution of specific genomic regions in prokaryotes and to produce publication-ready figures. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Genofig is fully available at https://forgemia.inra.fr/public-pgba/genofig under a GPL 3.0 license.
