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

Digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) is an emerging technology that enables accurate and sensitive quantification of nucleic acids. Most available dPCR systems have two channel optics, with ad hoc software limited to the analysis of single and duplex assays. Although multiplexing strategies were developed, variable assay designs, dPCR systems, and the analysis of low DNA input data restricted the ability for a universal automated clustering approach. To overcome these issues, we developed dPCR Cluster Predictor (dPCP), an R package and a Shiny app for automated analysis of up to 4-plex dPCR data. dPCP can analyse and visualize data generated by multiple dPCR systems carrying out accurate and fast clustering not influenced by the amount and integrity of input of nucleic acids. With the companion Shiny app, the functionalities of dPCP can be accessed through a web browser.
