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

backgroundAs the error rate is high and the distribution of errors across sites is non-uniform in next generation sequencing (NGS) data, it has been a challenge to estimate DNA polymorphism (θ) accurately from NGS data.

resultsBy computer simulations, we compare the two methods of data acquisition - sequencing each diploid individual separately and sequencing the pooled sample. Under the current NGS error rate, sequencing each individual separately offers little advantage unless the coverage per individual is high (>20X). We hence propose a new method for estimating θ from pooled samples that have been subjected to two separate rounds of DNA sequencing. Since errors from the two sequencing applications are usually non-overlapping, it is possible to separate low frequency polymorphisms from sequencing errors. Simulation results show that the dual applications method is reliable even when the error rate is high and θ is low.

conclusionsIn studies of natural populations where the sequencing coverage is usually modest (~2X per individual), the dual applications method on pooled samples should be a reasonable choice.
