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

Recombinant DNA is a fundamental tool in biotechnology and medicine. These DNA sequences are often built, replicated, and delivered in the form of plasmids. Validation of these plasmid sequences is a critical and time-consuming step, which has been dominated for the last 35 years by Sanger sequencing. As plasmid sequences grow more complex with new DNA synthesis and cloning techniques, we need new approaches that address the corresponding validation challenges at scale. Here we prototype a high-throughput plasmid sequencing approach using DNA transposition and Oxford Nanopore sequencing. Our method, Circuit-seq, creates robust, full-length, and accurate plasmid assemblies without prior knowledge of the underlying sequence. We demonstrate the power of Circuit-seq across a wide range of plasmid sizes and complexities, generating full-length, contiguous plasmid maps. We then leverage our long-read data to characterize epigenetic marks and estimate plasmid contamination levels. Circuit-seq scales to large numbers of samples at a lower per-sample cost than commercial Sanger sequencing, accelerating a key step in synthetic biology, while low equipment costs make it practical for individual laboratories.
