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

We introduce a target capture next-generation sequencing methodology, the ONETest Coronaviruses Plus, to sequence the SARS-CoV-2 genome and select loci of other respiratory viruses. We applied the ONETest on 70 respiratory samples (collected in Florida, USA between May and July, 2020), in which SARS-CoV-2 had been detected by a PCR assay. For 48 of the samples, we also applied the ARTIC protocol. Of the 70 ONETest libraries, 45 (64%) had a (near-)complete sequence (>29,000 bases and >90% covered by >9 reads). Of the 48 ARTIC libraries, 25 (52%) had a (near-)complete sequence. In 19 out of 25 (76%) samples in which both the ONETest and ARTIC yielded (near-)complete sequences, the lineages assigned were identical. As a target capture approach, the ONETest is less prone to loss of sequence coverage than amplicon approaches, and thus can provide complete genomic information more often to track and monitor SARS-CoV-2 variants.
