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

Carbohydrates are chemically and structurally diverse, composed of a wide array of monosaccharides, stereochemical linkages, substituent groups, and intermolecular associations with other biological molecules. A large repertoire of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) and enzymatic activities are required to form, dismantle, and metabolize these complex molecules. The software SACCHARIS (Sequence Analysis and Clustering of CarboHydrate Active enzymes for Rapid Informed prediction of Specificity) provides a rapid, easy-to-use pipeline for the prediction of potential CAZyme function in new datasets. We have updated SACCHARIS to (i) simplify its installation by re-writing in Python and packaging for Conda; (ii) enhance its usability through a new (optional) interactive GUI; and (iii) enable semi-automated annotation of phylogenetic tree output via a new R package or the commonly-used webserver iTOL. Significantly, SACCHARIS v2 has been developed with high-throughput omics in mind, with pipeline automation geared toward complex (meta)genome and (meta)transcriptome datasets to reveal the total CAZyme content ("CAZome") of an organism or community. Here, we outline the development and use of SACCHARIS v2 to discover and annotate CAZymes and provide insight into complex carbohydrate metabolisms in individual organisms and communities.
