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

Screening for genomic sequence variants in genes of predictive and prognostic significance is an integral part of precision medicine. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are progressively becoming platforms of choice to facilitate this, owing to their massively parallel sequencing capability, which can be used to simultaneously screen multiple markers in multiple samples for a variety of variants (single nucleotide and multi nucleotide variants, insertions and deletions, gene copy number variations, and fusions). A crucial step in the workflow of targeted NGS is the enrichment of the genomic regions of interest to be sequenced, against the whole genomic background. This ensures that the NGS effort is focused to predominantly screen target regions of interest with minimal off-target sequencing, making it more accurate and economical. Polymerase chain reaction-based (PCR, or amplicon-based) and hybridization capture-based methodologies are the two prominent approaches employed for target enrichment. This review summarizes the basic principles of target enrichment utilized by these methods, their multiple variations that have evolved over time, automation approaches, overall comparison of their advantages and drawbacks, and commercially available choices for these methodologies.
