This module works with Bracken output files that resemble Kraken reports. They look like the following:

```ts
100.00	1188381	0	R	1	root
100.00	1188380	0	R1	131567	  cellular organisms
100.00	1188328	0	D	2	    Bacteria
99.99	1188317	0	P	1224	      Proteobacteria
99.99	1188308	0	C	1236	        Gammaproteobacteria
99.99	1188285	0	O	91347	          Enterobacterales
99.98	1188147	0	F	543	            Enterobacteriaceae
```

The main assumption to tell Bracken reports from Kraken is that the former don't have
an "unassigned" category at the head of the file, and instead start with "root".

A bar graph is generated identical to that of Kraken.
