MetaRanker: precise profiling of antibiotic resistome risk in metagenomes by integrating abundance and genetic co-occurrence.
Article in Applied and environmental microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 proliferation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in environmental microbiomes represents a major and growing threat to public health, creating a critical demand for precise and efficient tools to monitor resistance risk. Current approaches often depend on contig-based quantification or lack comprehensive risk indices, which compromises their accuracy and utility. To address this, we developed MetaRanker (https://github.com/SteamedFish6/MetaRanker), a computational pipeline that assesses resistome risk by integrating the abundance of ARGs, mobile genetic elements (MGEs), and virulence factors (VFs)-calculated directly from sequencing reads-with their genetic co-occurrence on contigs into a unified risk index (RI). This index reflects the potential for horizontal transfer and pathogen emergence. Evaluated using
