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

Recent large-scale genome sequencing projects have generated near-complete diploid assemblies that reconstruct both haplomes. Producing such assemblies remains formidable, typically requiring large teams, extensive manual curation, and integration of multiple sequencing technologies. However, for many species and applications, a near-complete haplotype-mixed assembly-representing a mosaic of both haplomes-provides most of the same benefits for downstream analyses. Such assemblies can be generated automatically at lower cost using only HiFi reads. Here we present Mosaic Genome Assembler (MGA), a tool that generates near-complete haplotype-mixed assemblies from HiFi reads alone. We show that MGA substantially outperforms existing haplotype-mixed assemblers.
