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

Modern biological science, especially synthetic biology, relies heavily on the construction of DNA elements, often in the form of plasmids. Plasmids are used for a variety of applications, including the expression of proteins for subsequent purification, the expression of heterologous pathways for the production of valuable compounds, and the study of biological functions and mechanisms. For all applications, a critical step after the construction of a plasmid is its sequence validation. The traditional method for sequence determination is Sanger sequencing, which is limited to approximately 1000 bp per reaction. Here, we present a highly scalable in-house method for rapid validation of amplified DNA sequences using long-read Nanopore sequencing. We developed two-step amplicon and transposase strategies to provide maximum flexibility for dual barcode sequencing. We also provide an automated analysis pipeline to quickly and reliably analyze sequencing results and provide easy-to-interpret results for each sample. The user-friendly DuBA.flow start-to-finish pipeline is widely applicable. Furthermore, we show that construct validation using DuBA.flow can be performed by barcoded colony PCR amplicon sequencing, thus accelerating research.
