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

Cloud computing platforms aided the scalability and applicability of viral mining in genomic databases. The Serratus project reported SRA accessions that may contain viral sequences. This study analyzed SRA accessions containing sequences similar to Tymovirales members to verify the presence of sequence data derived from viral genomes. All steps in the genome mining analysis were performed by a pipeline running on virtual machines hosted on the Google Cloud Platform. Manual curation of the pipeline output discovered 111 putative genomes in the analyzed SRAs. Among the genomes identified, four were classified as isolates within the Betaflexiviridae family, and two were putative new members of the Alphaflexiviridae family. Another four sequences were likely classified in a family not yet accepted by the ICTV. The phylogenetic reconstruction of the Deltaflexiviridae family revealed three distinct clades, one of them containing 81 genomes (34 putative new species), a second clade with 18 novel genomes (7 putative new species), and a third with one putative new species. Given the high divergence between these three groups, we suggest the establishment of a new family, "Epsilonflexiviridae", and the split of the Deltaflexiviridae family into two by establishing the family "Zetaflexiviridae". The results of this work provide insight into important aspects of the evolutionary history of the order Tymovirales and offer new ways for virus-mining projects in genomic databases.
