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

Metagenomic data have notable biological potential, but their functional interpretation is frequently impeded by incomplete protein function annotations. Accurate enzyme annotation is essential for elucidating the metabolic capabilities of microbial communities within metagenomic datasets. To address this challenge, we developed FEDKEA, an enzyme annotation tool leveraging protein language models, and provided a web platform for its use. In addition, we designed a user-friendly, FEDKEA-based metagenomic pipeline, MEnzMap, which encompasses the entire analysis workflow-from raw data quality control to function prediction and downstream analyses. Applying MEnzMap to human gut metagenomic data from the iHMP2 project, we generated a comprehensive enzyme profile landscape for both healthy individuals and patients with inflammatory bowel diseases. These tools provide an efficient method for the functional annotation of microbial dark matter and facilitate the identification of disease-associated enzymes.
