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

Concerted gains and losses of genomic features such as genes and mobile genetic elements can provide key clues into related functional roles and shared evolutionary trajectories. By capturing phylogenetic signals, a coevolutionary model can outperform comparative methods based on shared presence and absence of features. We previously developed the Community Coevolution Model, which represents the gain/loss probability of each feature as a combination of its own intrinsic rate, combined with the joint probabilities of gain and loss with all other features. Originally implemented as an R library, we have now developed an R wrapper that adds parallelization and several options to pre-filter the features to increase the efficiency of comparisons. Here we describe the functionality of ParallelEvolCCM and apply it to a dataset of 1000 genomes of the genus Bifidobacterium. ParallelEvolCCM is released under the MIT license and available at https://github.com/beiko-lab/arete/blob/master/bin/ParallelEvolCCM.R.
