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

DIAMOND2GO (D2GO) is a high-speed toolset for assigning Gene Ontology (GO) terms to genes or proteins based on sequence similarity. Leveraging the ultra-fast alignment capabilities of DIAMOND, which is 100 to 20,000 times faster than BLAST, D2GO enables rapid functional annotation of large-scale datasets. D2GO maps GO terms from pre-annotated sequences in the NCBI non-redundant database to query sequences. During benchmarking, D2GO assigned over 2 million GO terms to 98% of 130,184 predicted human protein isoforms in under 13 min on a standard laptop. In addition to annotation, D2GO includes an enrichment analysis tool that allows users to identify significantly overrepresented GO terms between subsets of sequences. We compared D2GO against two widely used tools, Blast2GO and eggNOG-mapper, and observed substantial differences in the number and type of annotations produced. These discrepancies reflect varying sensitivities and specificities across tools and suggest that using multiple methods in tandem may improve overall annotation coverage. D2GO is open-source and freely available under the MIT license at https://github.com/rhysf/DIAMOND2GO.
