Fast all versus all genotype comparison using DNA/RNA sequencing data: method and workflow.
Article in BMC bioinformatics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundMassively parallel sequencing includes many liquid handling steps which introduce the possibility of sample swaps, mixing, and duplication. The unique profile of inherited variants in human genomes allows for comparison of sample identity using sequence data. A comparison of all samples vs. each other (all vs. all) provides both identification of mismatched samples and the possibility of resolving swapped samples. However, all vs. all comparison complexity grows as the square of the number of samples, so efficiency becomes essential.
resultsWe have developed a tool for fast all vs. all genotype comparison using low level bitwise operations built into the Perl programming language. Importantly, we have also developed a complete workflow allowing users to start with either raw FASTQ sequence files, aligned BAM files, or genotype VCF files and automatically generate comparison metrics and summary plots. The tool is freely available at https://github.com/teerjk/TimeAttackGenComp/ .
conclusionsA fast and easy to use method for genotype comparison as described here is an important tool to ensure high quality and robust results in sequencing studies.
