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

The advent of next generation sequencing (NGS) technology has provided the means to directly analyze the genetic material in primary cells or tissues of any species in a high throughput manner for mutagenic effects of potential genotoxic agents. In principle, direct, genome-wide sequencing of human primary cells and/or tissue biopsies would open up opportunities to identify individuals possibly exposed to mutagenic agents, thereby replacing current risk assessment procedures based on surrogate markers and extrapolations from animal studies. NGS-based tests can also precisely characterize the mutation spectra induced by genotoxic agents, improving our knowledge of their mechanism of action. Thus far, NGS has not been widely employed in genetic toxicology due to the difficulties in measuring low-abundant somatic mutations. Here, we review different strategies to employ NGS for the detection of somatic mutations in a cost-effective manner and discuss the potential applicability of these methods in testing the mutagenicity of genotoxic agents.
