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

The fast growth of public genomic sequence repositories greatly contributes to the success of metagenomics. However, they are growing at a faster pace than the computational resources to use them. This challenges current methods, which struggle to take full advantage of massive and fast data generation. We propose a generational leap in performance and usability with ganon2, a sequence classification method that performs taxonomic binning and profiling for metagenomics analysis. It indexes large datasets with a small memory footprint, maintaining fast, sensitive, and precise classification results. Based on the full NCBI RefSeq and its subsets, ganon2 indices are on average 50% smaller than state-of-the-art methods. Using 16 simulated samples from various studies, including the CAMI 1+2 challenge, ganon2 achieved up to 0.15 higher median
