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

High-throughput sequencing (HTS) provides the opportunity, once a diagnostic result is obtained, to extract additional information from a virus-containing sample. Hence, it offers advantages over established quantitative amplification technology, such as quantitative PCR, particularly in a public health environment. At this early stage of its clinical application, there have been limited studies comparing HTS performance to that of the more established quantitative PCR technology for direct detection of viruses. In this pilot-scale study, we tested HTS with a range of viruses and sample types routinely encountered in a public health virology laboratory. In comparison with quantitative PCR, our HTS method was able to sensitively (92%) detect all viruses in any sample type with the exception of certain tissues. Moreover, sufficient nucleotide sequence information was obtained to enable genotyping of strains detected, thus providing additional useful epidemiological information. While HTS sensitivity may not yet match that of PCR, the added value through enhanced epidemiological data has considerable potential to enable real-time surveillance of circulating strains so as to facilitate rapid and appropriate response to outbreaks and virus zoonotic spillover events.
