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

Analysis of pathogen genome variation is essential for informing disease management and control measures in farmed animals. For farmed fish, the standard approach is to use PCR and Sanger sequencing to study partial regions of pathogen genomes, with second and third-generation sequencing tools yet to be widely applied. Here we demonstrate rapid and accurate sequencing of two disease-causing viruses affecting global salmonid aquaculture, salmonid alphavirus (SAV) and infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV), using third-generation nanopore sequencing on the MinION platform (Oxford Nanopore Technologies). Our approach complements PCR from infected material with MinION sequencing to recover genomic information that matches near perfectly to Sanger-verified references. We use this method to present the first SAV subtype-6 genome, which branches as the sister to all other SAV lineages in a genome-wide phylogenetic reconstruction. MinION sequencing offers an effective strategy for fast, genome-wide analysis of fish viruses, with major potential applications for diagnostics and robust investigations into the origins and spread of disease outbreaks.
