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

objectiveWe propose KnvResGAT for efficient SARS-CoV-2 lineage classification by combining k-mer Natural Vector (KNV) representations with a residual multi-head Graph Attention Network (GAT) on a k-nearest-neighbor (kNN) similarity graph constructed in the KNV feature space.

resultsOn a time-aware per-lineage split of 182,851 curated SARS-CoV-2 genomes spanning 103 Pango lineages, KnvResGAT achieved 0.9729 accuracy and 0.9636 Macro-F1. Under the same split, it outperformed Pangolin (0.9673 accuracy, 0.9471 Macro-F1) and a strong deep baseline ResMLP (0.9654 accuracy, 0.9520 Macro-F1), demonstrating improved generalization for multi-class lineage classification.
