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

Nanopore sequencing is a rapidly maturing technology delivering long reads in real time on a portable instrument at low cost. Not surprisingly, the community has rapidly taken up this new way of sequencing and has used it successfully for a variety of research applications. A major limitation of nanopore sequencing is its high error rate, which despite recent improvements to the nanopore chemistry and computational tools still ranges between 5% and 15%. Here, we review computational approaches determining the nanopore sequencing error rate. Furthermore, we outline strategies for translation of raw sequencing data into base calls for detection of base modifications and for obtaining consensus sequences.
