Considerations for clinical read alignment and mutational profiling using next-generation sequencing.
Article in F1000Research, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Next-generation sequencing technologies are increasingly being applied in clinical settings, however the data are characterized by a range of platform-specific artifacts making downstream analysis problematic and error- prone. One major application of NGS is in the profiling of clinically relevant mutations whereby sequences are aligned to a reference genome and potential mutations assessed and scored. Accurate sequence alignment is pivotal in reliable assessment of potential mutations however selection of appropriate alignment tools is a non-trivial task complicated by the availability of multiple solutions each with its own performance characteristics. Using targeted analysis of BRCA1 as an example, we have simulated and mutated a test dataset based on Illumina sequencing technology. Our findings reveal key differences in the abilities of a range of common commercial and open source alignment tools to facilitate accurate downstream detection of a range of mutations. These observations will be of importance to anyone using NGS to profile mutations in clinical or basic research.
