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

Introduction: Accurate taxonomic profiling of the human microbiome composition is crucial for linking microbial species to health outcomes. Therefore, we created the Clinical Microbiomics Human Microbiome Profiler (CHAMP), a comprehensive tool designed for the profiling of prokaryotes, eukaryotes, and viruses across all body sites. Methods: CHAMP uses a reference database derived from 30,382 human microbiome samples, covering 6,567 prokaryotic and 244 eukaryotic species, as well as 64,003 viruses. We benchmarked CHAMP against established profiling tools (MetaPhlAn 4, Bracken 2, mOTUs 3, and Phanta) using a diverse set of Results: CHAMP demonstrated unparalleled species recall, F1 score, and significantly reduced false positives compared to all other tools benchmarked. The false positive relative abundance (FPRA) for CHAMP was, on average, 50-fold lower than the second-best performing profiler. CHAMP also proved to be more robust than other tools at low sequencing depths, highlighting its application for low biomass samples. Discussion: Taken together, this establishes CHAMP as a best-in-class human microbiome profiler of prokaryotes, eukaryotes, and viruses in diverse and complex communities across low and high biomass samples. CHAMP profiling is offered as a service by Clinical Microbiomics A/S and is available for a fee at https://cosmosidhub.com.
