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

motivationNext-generation sequencing technology is transitioning quickly from research labs to clinical settings. The diagnosis and treatment selection for many acquired and autosomal conditions necessitate a method for accurately detecting somatic and germline variants.

resultsWe have developed Pisces, a rapid, versatile and accurate small-variant calling suite designed for somatic and germline amplicon sequencing applications. Accuracy is achieved by four distinct modules, each incorporating a number of novel algorithmic strategies. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Pisces is distributed under an open source license and can be downloaded from https://github.com/Illumina/Pisces. Pisces is available on the BaseSpace™ SequenceHub. It is distributed on Illumina sequencing platforms such as the MiSeq™ and is included in the Praxis™ Extended RAS Panel test which was recently approved by the FDA. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
