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

In the past decade, third-generation sequencing technologies (such as PacBio (Pacific Biosciences) and Nanopore) have become gradually matured and are widely used for microbial taxonomy and quantification. Compared with Illumina sequencing, PacBio or Nanopore has advantages with long reads and high resolution in taxonomic classification. However, there is currently a lack of an easy-to-use, reproducible, and community-supported pipeline for PacBio or Nanopore amplicon sequencing data analysis. To address this shortcoming, the highly cited EasyAmplicon is updated to version 2, a pipeline fully supporting third-generation full-length amplicon data. EasyAmplicon 2 is a user-friendly pipeline that embraces data analysis and visualization options for data obtained from various sequencing technologies (Illumina, BGI (Beijing Genomics Institution), PacBio, Nanopore or Qitan). It integrates popular tools such as DADA2 and Emu, and provides a workflow from raw data to publication-ready visualizations. EasyAmplicon 2 inherits the advantages of the previous version and further optimizes the visualization part. The updated version of the pipeline includes data preprocessing, annotation, and quantification of amplicon sequence variants, intergroup comparison, and visualization for third-generation sequencing. EasyAmplicon 2 provides a simple and easy-to-use analysis environment for long-read amplicon sequencing data analysis. It is available for free on GitHub (https://github.com/YongxinLiu/EasyAmplicon).
