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

This study aimed to exercise the Sanger sequencing strategy for screening of variants among confirmed COVID-19 cases and validate our strategy against NGS strains in Hiroshima retrieved from GISAID. A total of 660 samples from confirmed COVID-19 cases underwent screening for variants by Sanger-based partial sequencing to the targeted spike gene (nt22,735~nt23,532) using an in-house-developed primer set. The identification of variants was done by unique checkpoints of base nucleotide changes in the targeted spike gene. Moreover, we amplified one full-length genome using Sanger method and an in-house-developed primer library. Using NGS strains of the same sampling period from GISAID, a phylogenetic tree was constructed to examine the distribution pattern of variants in Hiroshima and to validate our Sanger method. The modified primer set provided 100% validation and 99.2% amplification. PANGO Lineage R.1 was detected in late in the third wave, followed by Alpha (B.1.1.7) domination in the fourth wave, Delta (B.1.617.2) domination in the fifth wave, and Omicron (B.1.1.529) domination in the sixth wave, and there was no significant difference in viral copies between variants (
