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

Motivation: Ancestral recombination graphs (ARGs) are a complete representation of the genetic relationships between recombining lineages and are of central importance in population genetics. Recent breakthroughs in simulation and inference methods have led to a surge of interest in ARGs. However, understanding how best to take advantage of the graphical structure of ARGs remains an open question for researchers. Here, we introduce tskit_arg_visualizer, a Python package for programmatically drawing ARGs using the interactive D3.js visualization library. Results: We highlight the usefulness of this visualization tool for both teaching ARG concepts and exploring ARGs inferred from empirical datasets. Availability and implementation: The latest stable version of tskit_arg_visualizer is available through the Python Package Index (https://pypi.org/project/tskit-arg-visualizer, currently v0.1.1). Documentation and the development version of the package are found on GitHub (https://github.com/kitchensjn/tskit_arg_visualizer).
