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

aimTo characterize the noise and stutter distribution of 23 short tandem repeats (STRs) included in the PowerSeqTM Auto System.

methodsRaw FASTQ files were analyzed using STRait Razor v2s to display alleles and coverage. The sequence noise was divided into several categories: noise at allele position, noise at -1 repeat position, and artifact. The average relative percentages of locus coverage for each noise, stutter, and allele were calculated from the samples used for this locus noise analysis.

resultsStutter products could be routinely observed at the -2 repeat position, -1 repeat position, and +1 repeat position of alleles. Sequence noise at the allele position ranged from 10.22% to 28.81% of the total locus coverage. At the allele position, individual noise reads were relatively low.

conclusionThe data indicate that noise generally will be low. In addition, the PowerSeqTM Auto System could capture nine flanking region single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that would not be observed by other current kits for massively parallel sequencing (MPS) of STRs.
