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

Inverted repeats are repetitive elements that can form hairpin and cruciform structures. They are linked to genomic instability; however, they also have various biological functions. Their distribution differs markedly across taxonomic groups in the tree of life, and they exhibit high polymorphism due to their inherent genomic instability. Advances in sequencing technologies and declined costs have enabled the generation of an ever-growing number of complete genomes for organisms across taxonomic groups in the tree of life. However, a comprehensive database encompassing inverted repeats across diverse organismal genomes has been lacking. We present invertiaDB, the first comprehensive database of inverted repeats spanning multiple taxa, featuring repeats identified in the genomes of 118 101 organisms across all major taxonomic groups. For each organism, we derived inverted repeats with arm lengths of at least 10 bp, spacer lengths up to 8 bp, and no mismatches in the arms. The database currently hosts 34 330 450 inverted repeat sequences, serving as a centralized, user-friendly repository to perform searches and interactive visualizations, and download existing inverted repeat data for independent analysis. invertiaDB is implemented as a web portal for browsing, analyzing, and downloading inverted repeat data. invertiaDB is publicly available at https://invertiadb.netlify.app/homepage.html.
