BALROG-MON: a high-throughput pipeline for Bacterial AntimicrobiaL Resistance annOtation of Genomes-Metagenomic Oxford Nanopore.
Article in microPublication biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
BALROG-MON is a Nextflow pipeline for automated analysis of metagenomic long-read data to detect pathogens, annotate antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), link ARGs to specific pathogens, predict ARG origin (e.g., plasmid, chromosomal) and optionally perform steps like community analysis. With both assembly-based and assembly-free workflows, BALROG-MON is applicable to a wide range of sample types with low or high coverage, varying complexities and origins. Optional genome binning provides a comprehensive overview of ARGs within the dataset. BALROG-MON additionally presents results in summarized reports, overall serving as a flexible analysis tool for exploring diverse metagenomic samples for pathogens and antibiotic resistance.
