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

motivationMonitoring the genomic evolution of Plasmodium falciparum-the most widespread and deadliest of the human-infecting malaria species-is critical for making decisions in response to changes in drug resistance, diagnostic test failures, and vaccine effectiveness. The MalariaGEN data resources are the world's largest whole genome sequencing databases for Plasmodium parasites. The size and complexity of such data is a barrier to many potential end users in both public health and academic research. A user-friendly method for accessing and exploring data on the genetic variation of P. falciparum would greatly enable efforts in studying and controlling malaria.

resultsWe developed Pf-HaploAtlas, a web application enabling exploratory data analysis of genomic variation without requiring advanced technical expertise. The app provides analysis-ready data catalogues and visualizations of amino acid haplotypes for all 5102 core P. falciparum genes. Pf-HaploAtlas facilitates comprehensive spatial and temporal exploration of genes and variants of interest by using data from 16 203 samples, from 33 countries, and spread between the years 1984 and 2018. The scope of Pf-HaploAtlas will expand with each new MalariaGEN Plasmodium data release. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Pf-HaploAtlas is available online for public use at https://apps.malariagen.net/pf-haploatlas, which allows users to download the underlying amino acid haplotype data for further analyses, and its source code is freely available on GitHub under the MIT licence at https://github.com/malariagen/pf-haploatlas.
