Ensemble of nucleic acid absolute quantitation modules for copy number variation detection and RNA profiling.
Article in Nature communications, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Current gold standard for absolute quantitation of a specific DNA sequence is droplet digital PCR (ddPCR), which has been applied to copy number variation (CNV) detection. However, the number of quantitation modules in ddPCR is limited by fluorescence channels, which thus limits the CNV sensitivity due to sampling error following Poisson distribution. Here we develop a PCR-based molecular barcoding NGS approach, quantitative amplicon sequencing (QASeq), for accurate absolute quantitation scalable to over 200 quantitation modules. By attaching barcodes to individual target molecules with high efficiency, 2-plex QASeq exhibits higher and more consistent conversion yield than ddPCR in absolute molecule count quantitation. Multiplexed QASeq improves CNV sensitivity allowing confident distinguishment of 2.05 ploidy from normal 2.00 ploidy. We apply multiplexed QASeq to serial longitudinal plasma cfDNA samples from patients with metastatic ERBB2+ (HER2+ ) breast cancer seeking association with tumor progression. We further show an RNA QASeq panel for targeted expression profiling.
