Comparative analysis of Illumina, PacBio, and nanopore for 16S rRNA gene sequencing of rabbit's gut microbiota.
Article in Frontiers in microbiomes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
This research aims to assess whether sequencing the full length of the 16S rRNA gene using PacBio HiFi sequencing and Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) platforms outperform Illumina MiSeq platform in providing detailed specie level insights. Moreover, it aims to compare the similarities in microbial communities detected across the three platforms. The study employed DNA from four rabbit does' soft feces, sequenced using Illumina MiSeq for specific 16S rRNA gene regions V3-V4, and for the complete gene sequencing using PacBio HiFi and ONT MinION. Results highlight different levels of taxonomic resolution. At the species level, PacBio and ONT exhibited the better resolutions with 63% and 76% respectively, while 48% for Illumina. However, across all three platforms, the classification output at species level was mainly labeled as "
