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

Library adaptors are short oligonucleotides that are attached to RNA and DNA samples in preparation for next-generation sequencing (NGS). Adaptors can also include additional functional elements, such as sample indexes and unique molecular identifiers, to improve library analysis. Here, we describe Control Library Adaptors, termed CAPTORs, that measure the accuracy and reliability of NGS. CAPTORs can be integrated within the library preparation of RNA and DNA samples, and their encoded information is retrieved during sequencing. We show how CAPTORs can measure the accuracy of nanopore sequencing, evaluate the quantitative performance of metagenomic and RNA sequencing, and improve normalisation between samples. CAPTORs can also be customised for clinical diagnoses, correcting systematic sequencing errors and improving the diagnosis of pathogenic BRCA1/2 variants in breast cancer. CAPTORs are a simple and effective method to increase the accuracy and reliability of NGS, enabling comparisons between samples, reagents and laboratories, and supporting the use of nanopore sequencing for clinical diagnosis.
