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

summaryMining homologous biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) typically involves searching colocalised genes against large genomic databases. However, the high degree of genomic redundancy in these databases often propagates into the resulting hit sets, complicating downstream analyses and visualization. To address this challenge, we present CAGEcleaner, a Python-based pipeline with auxiliary bash scripts designed to reduce redundancy in gene cluster hit sets by dereplicating the genomes that host these hits. CAGEcleaner integrates seamlessly with widely used gene cluster mining tools, such as cblaster and CAGECAT, enabling efficient filtering and streamlining BGC discovery workflows. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Source code and documentation is hosted at GitHub (https://github.com/LucoDevro/CAGEcleaner) and Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14726119) under an MIT license. For accessibility, CAGEcleaner is installable from Bioconda (https://anaconda.org/bioconda/cagecleaner) and PyPi (https://pypi.org/project/cagecleaner/), and is also available as a Docker image from DockerHub (https://hub.docker.com/r/lucodevro/cagecleaner).
