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

Misidentification and contamination of biobank samples (e.g. cell lines) have plagued biomedical research. Short tandem repeat (STR) and single-nucleotide polymorphism assays are widely used to authenticate biosamples and detect contamination, but with insufficient sensitivity at 5-10% and 3-5%, respectively. Here, we describe a deep NGS-based method with significantly higher sensitivity (≤1%). It can be used to authenticate human and mouse cell lines, xenografts and organoids. It can also reliably identify and quantify contamination of human cell line samples, contaminated with only small amount of other cell samples; detect and quantify species-specific components in human-mouse mixed samples (e.g. xenografts) with 0.1% sensitivity; detect mycoplasma contamination; and infer population structure and gender of human samples. By adopting DNA barcoding technology, we are able to profile 100-200 samples in a single run at per-sample cost comparable to conventional STR assays, providing a truly high-throughput and low-cost assay for building and maintaining high-quality biobanks.
