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

motivationDNA sequencing archives have grown to enormous scales in recent years, and thousands of human genomes have already been sequenced. The size of these data sets has made searching the raw read data infeasible without high-performance data-query technology. Additionally, it is challenging to search a repository of short-read data using relational logic and to apply that logic across samples from multiple whole-genome sequencing samples.

resultsWe have built a compact, efficiently-indexed database that contains the raw read data for over 250 human genomes, encompassing trillions of bases of DNA, and that allows users to search these data in real-time. The Terabase Search Engine enables retrieval from this database of all the reads for any genomic location in a matter of seconds. Users can search using a range of positions or a specific sequence that is aligned to the genome on the fly. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Public access to the Terabase Search Engine database is available at http://tse.idies.jhu.edu. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
