Hash functions in nucleotide sequence analysis.
Review in Genome research, 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
Randomness is a powerful tool in the design and analysis of algorithms and data structures for nucleotide sequence data. Nucleotide sequences are not themselves random but are often randomized using hash functions. Despite their widespread use in genomics, there is no comprehensive review of the types of hash functions used and their various applications. In this survey intended for bioinformatic methods developers, we divide hash functions into four categories: scattering hash functions, permutations, minimum perfect hash functions, and locality-sensitive hash functions. For each category, we provide examples of both general-use hash functions that have been applied in nucleotide sequence analysis and hash functions that have been designed specifically for nucleotide sequence analysis. We highlight their salient properties, commonalities, differences, and application areas.
