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

l-EasyARG is a pipeline for long-read metagenomic profiling of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and their genetic context. It integrates ARG identification, plasmid and mobile genetic element (MGE) detection, taxonomic classification, and further identifies ARGs carried by human bacterial pathogens (HBPs) defined in the WHO and ESKAPE pathogen lists. Benchmarking on simulated datasets with error rates ranging from 0% to 15% demonstrates optimal F1-scores at ≤5% errors, outperforming existing tools such as ARGpore2 and DeepARG. Application to hospital wastewater samples validates its ability to capture disinfection-induced shifts in ARG composition, ARG-MGE co-occurrence, and ARG-host associations. l-EasyARG generates comprehensive outputs including abundance profiles, co-occurrence networks, and interactive visualizations, enabling efficient resistome surveillance and risk assessment. The pipeline is user-friendly and locally executable.
