BaGPipe: an automated, reproducible, and flexible pipeline for bacterial genome-wide association studies.
Article in BMC 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
backgroundMicrobial genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are crucial for linking genetic variation to phenotypic traits in bacteria. However, current tools often involve complex manual processing, limited scalability, and fragmented workflows, which constrain large-scale or routine bacterial GWAS.
resultsWe developed BaGPipe, an automated and flexible bacterial GWAS pipeline built using Nextflow and incorporating Pyseer for association analysis. BaGPipe integrates pre-processing, statistical analysis, and downstream visualisation into a unified workflow that is reproducible and easy to deploy across diverse computational environments. BaGPipe was validated on a publicly available dataset of Streptococcus pneumoniae whole-genome sequences, and reproduced published findings with improved computational efficiency. BaGPipe was then applied to a dataset of Staphylococcus aureus whole-genome sequences, successfully identifying known and novel antibiotic resistance associations.
conclusionsBy offering an accessible, efficient, and reproducible platform, BaGPipe accelerates bacterial GWAS and facilitates deeper exploration into the genetic underpinnings of phenotypic traits. BaGPipe is freely available at https://github.com/sanger-pathogens/BaGPipe .
