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

Phylogenomic analyses of long sequences, consisting of many genes and genomic segments, reconstruct organismal relationships with high statistical confidence. But, inferred relationships can be sensitive to excluding just a few sequences. Currently, there is no direct way to identify fragile relationships and the associated individual gene sequences in species. Here, we introduce novel metrics for gene-species sequence concordance and clade probability derived from evolutionary sparse learning models. We validated these metrics using fungi, plant, and animal phylogenomic datasets, highlighting the ability of the new metrics to pinpoint fragile clades and the sequences responsible. The new approach does not necessitate the investigation of alternative phylogenetic hypotheses, substitution models, or repeated data subset analyses. Our methodology offers a streamlined approach to evaluating major inferred clades and identifying sequences that may distort reconstructed phylogenies using large datasets.
