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

motivationThe emergence of the 'telomere-to-telomere' genomics brought the challenge of identifying segmental duplications (SDs) in complete genomes. It further opened a possibility for identifying the differences in SDs across individual human genomes and studying the SD evolution. These newly emerged challenges require algorithms for reconstructing SDs in the most complex genomic regions that evaded all previous attempts to analyze their architecture, such as rapidly evolving immunoglobulin loci.

resultsWe describe the GenomeDecoder algorithm for inferring SDs and apply it to analyzing genomic architectures of various loci in primate genomes. Our analysis revealed that multiple duplications/deletions led to a rapid birth/death of immunoglobulin genes within the human population and large changes in genomic architecture of immunoglobulin loci across primate genomes. Comparison of immunoglobulin loci across primate genomes suggests that they are subjected to diversifying selection.
