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

Euglenids (Euglenozoa) contain several forms of extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) in their cells, including the ribosomal DNA operon (rDNA), the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA), and, in photosynthetic species, the plastid genome (ptDNA). These ecDNA elements can be easily and accurately assembled and annotated even from limited sequencing data, such as single-cell genomic or metagenomic datasets. They are an important source of information for phylogenomic analyses, metabarcoding and evolutionary studies. In this chapter, we present a robust and adaptable bioinformatics pipeline for the identification, assembly, and annotation of extrachromosomal DNA from whole-genome datasets. The pipeline was developed with euglenids in mind and takes into account their unique genomic features, but can also be adapted for other Euglenozoa (and protists). This approach enables the recovery of organellar and rDNA sequences with high confidence and supports both targeted studies and large-scale environmental analyses.
