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

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies that have advanced rapidly in the past few years possess the potential to classify diseases, decipher the molecular code of related cell processes, identify targets for decision-making on targeted therapy or prevention strategies, and predict clinical treatment response. Thus, NGS is on its way to revolutionize oncology. With the help of NGS, we can draw a finer map for the genetic basis of diseases and can improve our understanding of diagnostic and prognostic applications and therapeutic methods. Despite these advantages and its potential, NGS is facing several critical challenges, including reduction of sequencing cost, enhancement of sequencing quality, improvement of technical simplicity and reliability, and development of semiautomated and integrated analysis workflow. In order to address these challenges, we conducted a literature research and summarized a four-stage NGS workflow for providing a systematic review on NGS-based analysis, explaining the strength and weakness of diverse NGS-based software tools, and elucidating its potential connection to individualized medicine. By presenting this four-stage NGS workflow, we try to provide a minimal structural layout required for NGS data storage and reproducibility.
