NanoCore: core-genome-based bacterial genomic surveillance and outbreak detection in healthcare facilities from Nanopore and Illumina data.
Article in mSystems, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Genomic surveillance enables the early detection of pathogen transmission in healthcare facilities and contributes to the reduction of substantial patient harm. Fast turnaround times, flexible multiplexing, and low capital requirements make Nanopore sequencing well suited for genomic surveillance purposes; the analysis of Nanopore data, however, can be challenging. We present NanoCore, a user-friendly method for Nanopore-based genomic surveillance in healthcare facilities, enabling the calculation and visualization of cgMLST-like (core-genome multilocus sequence typing) sample distances directly from unassembled Nanopore reads. NanoCore implements a mapping, variant calling, and multilevel filtering strategy and also supports the analysis of Illumina data. We validated NanoCore on two 24-isolate data sets of methicillin-resistant IMPORTANCE: Genomic surveillance involves sequencing the genomes and measuring the relatedness of bacteria from different patients or locations in the same healthcare facility, enabling an improved understanding of pathogen transmission pathways and the detection of "silent" outbreaks that would otherwise go undetected. It has become an indispensable tool for the detection and prevention of healthcare-associated infections and is routinely applied by many healthcare institutions. The earlier an outbreak or transmission chain is detected, the better; in this context, the Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology has important potential advantages over traditionally used short-read sequencing technologies, because it supports "real-time" data generation and the cost-effective "on demand" sequencing of small numbers of bacterial isolates. The analysis of Nanopore sequencing data, however, can be challenging. We present NanoCore, a user-friendly software for genomic surveillance that works directly based on Nanopore sequencing reads in FASTQ format, and demonstrate that its accuracy is equivalent to traditional gold standard short read-based analyses.
