MBCN: A novel reference database for Effcient Metagenomic analysis of human gut microbiome.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Metagenomic shotgun sequencing data can identify microbes and their proportions. But metagenomic shotgun data profiling results obtained from multiple projects using different reference databases are difficult to compare and apply meta-analysis. Our work aims to create a novel collection of human gut prokaryotic genomes, named Microbiome Collection Navigator (MBCN). 2379 human gut metagenomic samples are screened, and 16,785 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) are assembled using a standardized pipeline. In addition, MAGs are combined with the representative genomes from public prokaryotic genomes collections to cluster, and pan-genomes for each cluster's genomes are constructed to build Kraken2 and Bracken databases. The databases built by MBCN are more comprehensive and accurate for profiling metagenomic reads comparing with other collections on simulated reads and virtual bio-projects. We profile 1082 human gut metagenomic samples with MBCN database and organize profiles and metadata on the web program. Meanwhile, using MBCN as a reference database, we also develop a unified, standardized, and systematic metagenomic analysis pipeline and platform, named MicrobiotaCN (http://www.microbiota.cn) and common statistical and visualization tools for microbiome research are integrated into the web program. Taken together, MBCN and MicrobiotaCN can be a valuable resource and a powerful tool that allows researchers to perform metagenomic analysis by a unified pipeline efficiently.
