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

Fastp has been recognized as one of the most popular FASTQ file preprocessors because of its powerful functions and extreme performance. As its first major update, fastp 1.0 will be formally presented in this paper, including its new features and the implementation principles behind it. Two other popular FASTQ preprocessors, Trimmomatic and Cutadapt, will be compared to demonstrate the great advantages of fastp in terms of simplicity, efficiency, and versatility. Some modules, such as the batch processing scripts, will be introduced on how to apply fastp to process FASTQ files efficiently. Additionally, some software design principles will be highlighted to showcase how to develop a successful bioinformatics software.
