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

Summary: Gene annotation of metagenome-assembled genomes is a critical step in determining the functional potential of microbial communities from environmental samples. However, annotation workflows using tools such as Prokka or Bakta produce per-bin output with 10 to 14 files per bin, making manual review infeasible at scale. Existing tools incompletely aggregate and visualize gene annotation content across an entire metagenomic dataset. Here we present annoreport, a single-script Python tool requiring no external dependencies beyond Python 3.9+ that accepts output from either Prokka or Bakta, automatically detecting the annotation tool used. annoreport produces an interactive web-based report summarizing gene product frequencies, hypothetical protein rates, feature type distributions, and functional gene clustering via UniProt annotation across all bins. Applied to 206 metagenome-assembled genomes from Antarctic soil metagenomes, annoreport identified 603,799 coding sequences with a 47.1% annotation rate and revealed functional categorization in Transport & Membrane, Nucleotide Binding, and DNA Metabolism categories.
