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

summarySequence-to-graph alignment is a central challenge of computational pangenomics. To overcome the theoretical hardness of the problem, state-of-the-art tools use seed-and-extend or seed-chain-extend heuristics to alignment. We implement a complete seed-chain-extend alignment workflow based on indexable elastic founder graphs (iEFGs) that support linear-time exact searches unlike general graphs. We show how to construct iEFGs, find high-quality seeds, chain, and extend them at the scale of a telomere-to-telomere assembled human chromosome. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Our sequence-to-graph alignment tool and the scripts to replicate our experiments are available in https://github.com/algbio/SRFAligner.
