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

Numerous viral sequences have been reported in the whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data of human blood. However, it is not clear to what degree the virus-mappable reads represent true viral sequences rather than random-mapping or noise originating from sample preparation, sequencing processes, or other sources. Identification of patterns of virus-mappable reads may generate novel indicators for evaluating the origins of these viral sequences. We characterized paired-end unmapped reads and reads aligned to viral references in human WGS datasets, then compared patterns of the virus-mappable reads among DNA sources and sequencing facilities which produced these datasets. We then examined potential origins of the source- and facility-associated viral reads. The proportions of clean unmapped reads among the seven sequencing facilities were significantly different (P < 2 × 10
