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

premiseUniversal target enrichment kits maximize utility across wide evolutionary breadth while minimizing the number of baits required to create a cost-efficient kit. The Angiosperms353 kit has been successfully used to capture loci throughout the angiosperms, but the default target reference file includes sequence information from only 6-18 taxa per locus. Consequently, reads sequenced from on-target DNA molecules may fail to map to references, resulting in fewer on-target reads for assembly, and reducing locus recovery.

methodsWe expanded the Angiosperms353 target file, incorporating sequences from 566 transcriptomes to produce a 'mega353' target file, with each locus represented by 17-373 taxa. This mega353 file is a drop-in replacement for the original Angiosperms353 file in HybPiper analyses. We provide tools to subsample the file based on user-selected taxon groups, and to incorporate other transcriptome or protein-coding gene data sets.

resultsCompared to the default Angiosperms353 file, the mega353 file increased the percentage of on-target reads by an average of 32%, increased locus recovery at 75% length by 49%, and increased the total length of the concatenated loci by 29%. DISCUSSION: Increasing the phylogenetic density of the target reference file results in improved recovery of target capture loci. The mega353 file and associated scripts are available at: https://github.com/chrisjackson-pellicle/NewTargets.
