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

Motivation: With more and more telomere-to-telomere genomes assembled, pangenomes make it possible to capture the genomic diversity of a species. Because they introduce less biases, pangenomes, represented as graphs, tend to supplant the usual linear representation of a reference genome, augmented with variations. However, this major change requires new tools adapted to this data structure. Among the numerous questions that can be addressed to a pangenome graph is the search for conserved or divergent genes. Results: In this article, we present a new tool, named PanSel, which computes a conservation score for each segment of the genome, and finds genomic regions that are significantly conserved, or divergent. PanSel can be used on prokaryotes and eukaryotes, with a sequence identity not less than 98%. Availability and implementation: PanSel, written in C++11 with no dependency, is available at https://github.com/mzytnicki/pansel.
