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

Microbial bile acid metabolism is an important link between microbiomes and host physiology, but its genetic basis remains difficult to resolve from genome and metagenome data. This is largely because existing annotation resources are not designed for the high sequence diversity and functional complexity of microbial bile acid genes. Here we present BileActome, a reusable annotation resource developed specifically for microbial bile acid metabolism. BileActome defines 27 experimentally supported gene families, including bile salt hydrolases, bile acid-inducible operon genes, and microbial hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases. Its design prioritizes experimentally supported functional sites when available and conserved domain features otherwise, while also distinguishing key functional subtypes. We applied BileActome to 1693 high-quality rumen metagenome-assembled and isolate genomes and validated its performance using controlled
