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

Whole-genome amplification is a crucial first step in nearly all single-cell genomic analyses, with the following steps focused on its products. Bias and variance caused by the whole-genome amplification process add numerous challenges to the world of single-cell genomics. Short tandem repeats are sensitive genomic markers used widely in population genetics, forensics, and retrospective lineage tracing. A previous evaluation of common whole-genome amplification targeting ~1000 non-autosomal short tandem repeat loci is extended here to ~12,000 loci across the entire genome via duplex molecular inversion probes. Other than its improved scale and reduced noise, this system detects an abundance of heterogeneous short tandem repeat loci, allowing the allelic balance to be reported. We show here that while the best overall yield is obtained using RepliG-SC, the maximum uniformity between alleles and reproducibility across cells are maximized by Ampli1, rendering it the best candidate for the comparative heterozygous analysis of single-cell genomes.
