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

Routine use of whole-genome analysis for infectious diseases can be used to enlighten various scenarios pertaining to public health, including identification of microbial pathogens, relating individual cases to an outbreak of infectious disease, establishing an association between an outbreak of food poisoning and a specific food vehicle, inferring drug susceptibility, source tracing of contaminants, and study of variations in the genome that affect pathogenicity/virulence. We describe the setup, validation, and ongoing verification of a centralized whole-genome-sequencing (WGS) laboratory to carry out sequencing for these public health functions for the National Infection Services, Public Health England, in the United Kingdom. The performance characteristics and quality control metrics measured during validation and verification of the entire end-to-end process (accuracy, precision, reproducibility, and repeatability) are described and include information regarding the automated pass and release of data to service users without intervention.
