Interactive tools for functional annotation of bacterial genomes.
Article in Database : the journal of biological databases and curation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Automated annotations of protein functions are error-prone because of our lack of knowledge of protein functions. For example, it is often impossible to predict the correct substrate for an enzyme or a transporter. Furthermore, much of the knowledge that we do have about the functions of proteins is missing from the underlying databases. We discuss how to use interactive tools to quickly find different kinds of information relevant to a protein's function. Many of these tools are available via PaperBLAST (http://papers.genomics.lbl.gov). Combining these tools often allows us to infer a protein's function. Ideally, accurate annotations would allow us to predict a bacterium's capabilities from its genome sequence, but in practice, this remains challenging. We describe interactive tools that infer potential capabilities from a genome sequence or that search a genome to find proteins that might perform a specific function of interest.
