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

summarynf-core/mag is a reproducible Nextflow pipeline for best-practice metagenomic de novo assembly and binning within the nf-core framework. Here we present a major update that adds support for long-read-only assembly and bin refinement, includes five new binning tools, expands taxonomic classification to viruses and eukaryotes, and improves bin quality evaluation with new tools and latest databases. Through sustained community-driven development spanning seven years and four primary curator teams, nf-core/mag remains actively developed as an open source workflow for metagenomic analysis, benefiting from contributions from across the broader metagenomics, nf-core, and Nextflow ecosystem. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The source code of nf-core/mag v5 is available on GitHub (https://github.com/nf-core/mag) under the open source MIT license, with v5.5.0 source code archived on Zenodo (https://zenodo.org/records/21735731). Documentation is viewable on the nf-core website (https://nf-co.re/mag).
