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

Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) is crucial in oncogene amplification, gene transcription regulation, and intratumor heterogeneity. While various analysis pipelines and experimental methods have been developed for eccDNA identification, their detection efficiencies have not been systematically assessed. To address this, we evaluate the performance of 7 analysis pipelines using seven simulated datasets, in terms of accuracy, identity, duplication rate, and computational resource consumption. We also compare the eccDNA detection efficiency of 7 experimental methods through twenty-one real sequencing datasets. Here, we show that Circle-Map and Circle_finder (bwa-mem-samblaster) outperform the other short-read pipelines. However, Circle_finder (bwa-mem-samblaster) exhibits notable redundancy in its outcomes. CReSIL is the most effective pipeline for eccDNA detection in long-read sequencing data at depths higher than 10X. Moreover, long-read sequencing-based Circle-Seq shows superior efficiency in detecting copy number-amplified eccDNA over 10 kb in length. These results offer valuable insights for researchers in choosing the suitable methods for eccDNA research.
