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

Tertiary-interaction characters, termed "3Di" characters, were invented for deep structural homology search with the FoldSeek program. However, they may also be used as phylogenetic characters in model-based phylogenetic inference, just as in the Maximum Likelihood program IQ-TREE. However, to conduct such an analysis, every input amino acid (AA) sequence must be linked to a protein structure prediction file, which then must be converted to 3Di characters, and then both AA and 3Di characters need to be assembled, aligned, and joined in a partitioned data file for phylogenetic analysis. To make this process practical for medium to large datasets, we constructed a pipeline with R scripts to automate these steps. Here we present example scripts and explain the R functions used to construct a joint AA+3Di alignment file.
