Pytrf: a python package for finding tandem repeats from genomic sequences.
Article in BMC bioinformatics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundTandem repeats (TRs) are major sources of genetic variation and important genetic markers. Their expansions are not only involved in gene expression regulation but also associated with many nervous system diseases and cancers. However, there is a lack of an efficient tandem repeat identification tool for seamless integration with larger bioinformatics programs developed with the popular Python language.
resultsWe introduce pytrf, a Python package for identification of both exact and approximate TRs from genomic sequences. It allows seamless embedding into other programs developed by Python or using in Python interactive environment and Jupyter notebooks. It also provides command line tools for assisting users to find tandem repeats from FASTA/Q files. Compared to other tools, the pytrf shows the highest performance in aspect of running time with comparable peak memory usage.
conclusionsPytrf provides simple interfaces and command line tools to facilitate identification of tandem repeats from genomic sequences. Pytrf can easily be installed from PyPI ( https://pypi.org/project/pytrf ) and the source code is freely available at https://github.com/lmdu/pytrf .
