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

Next generation sequencing (NGS) is routinely used to study crucial aspects of biological systems, including differentially expressed genes identification, microbiome taxonomic composition and structure, enrichment of specific cellular functions in a given environment, and so on. Current research laboratories are facing a serious lack in the availability of properly trained researchers capable of carrying out basic NGS analysis computational pipelines. This reflects a gap in most academic curricula concerning the basics of NGS data management, analysis, and interpretation. Indeed, most of the times, the knowledge necessary to undertake these tasks is acquired through the use of one-shot tutorial, without a thorough explanation of the concepts behind the practical steps. With this protocol we aim to fill this gap by providing teachers with a hands-on protocol to guide bachelor and master students in a more focused analysis of NGS data, from basic and standard operations on sequencing reads (e.g., quality check and trimming) to more advanced analysis techniques (e.g., data normalization).
