Comparison of Multiple Displacement Amplification (MDA) and Multiple Annealing and Looping-Based Amplification Cycles (MALBAC) in Limited DNA Sequencing Based on Tube and Droplet.
Article in Micromachines, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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.
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
Whole genome amplification (WGA) is crucial for whole genome sequencing to investigate complex genomic alteration at the single-cell or even single-molecule level. Multiple displacement amplification (MDA) and multiple annealing and looping based amplification cycles (MALBAC) are two most widely applied WGA methods, which have different advantages and disadvantages, dependent on research objectives. Herein, we compared the MDA and MALBAC to provide more information on their performance in droplets and tubes. We observed that the droplet method could dramatically reduce the amplification bias and retain the high accuracy of replication than the conventional tube method. Furthermore, the droplet method exhibited higher efficiency and sensitivity for both homozygous and heterozygous single nucleotide variants (SNVs) at the low sequencing depth. In addition, we also found that MALBAC offered a greater uniformity and reproducibility and MDA showed a better efficiency of genomic coverage and SNV detection. Our results provided insights that will allow future decision making.
