Article in Microbial genomics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Repeats are the most diverse and dynamic but also the least well-understood component of microbial genomes. For all we know, repeat-associated mutations such as duplications, deletions, inversions and gene conversion might be as common as point mutations, but because of short-read myopia and methodological bias, they have received much less attention. Long-read DNA sequencing opens the perspective of resolving repeats and systematically investigating the mutations they induce. For this study, we assembled the genomes of 16 closely related strains of the bacterial pathogen
