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 National Institute of Standards and Technology has developed reference materials for five human genomes. DNA aliquots are available for purchase, and the data, analyses, and high-confidence small variant and homozygous reference calls are freely available on the web. These reference materials are useful for evaluating whole-genome sequencing methods and also can be used to benchmark targeted sequencing panels, which are used commonly in clinical settings. This article describes how to use the Genome in a Bottle samples to obtain performance metrics on any germline-targeted sequencing panel of interest, as well as the limitations of the reference materials. These materials are useful for understanding the limitations of, and optimizing, targeted sequencing panels and associated bioinformatics pipelines. Example figures are presented to illustrate ways to access the performance metrics of targeted sequencing panels, and a table of best practices is included.
