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

summaryMetagenome assembly seeks to reconstruct the most high-quality genomes from sequencing data of microbial ecosystems. Despite technological advancements that facilitate assembly, such as Hi-Fi long reads, the process remains challenging in complex environmental samples consisting of hundreds to thousands of populations. Mapler is a metagenome assembly and evaluation pipeline with a focus on evaluating the quality of Hi-Fi long read metagenome assemblies. It incorporates several state-of-the-art metrics, as well as novel metrics assessing the diversity that remains uncaptured by the assembly process. Mapler facilitates the comparison of assembly strategies and helps identify methodological bottlenecks that hinder genome reconstruction. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Mapler is open source and publicly available under the AGPL-3.0 licence at https://github.com/Nimauric/Mapler. Source code is implemented in Python and Bash as a Snakemake pipeline. A snapshot of the code is available on Software Heritage at swh:1:snp:df4f5f02e22ebbab285ec14af58d4d88436ee5d6. Raw data and results are available at https://entrepot.recherche.data.gouv.fr/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.57745/2SA8AB.
