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

Somatic mutations in individual cells create genomic mosaicism, influencing genetic disorders and cancers. While clonal mutations in cancers are well-studied, rarer somatic variants in normal tissues remain poorly characterized. This study systematically evaluates detection methods using a personalized donor-specific assembly (DSA) from a neurotypical individual's dorsolateral prefrontal cortex assessed with Oxford Nanopore, NovaSeq, linked-read sequencing, Cas9-targeted long-read sequencing (TEnCATS), and single-neuron MALBAC amplification. The haplotype-resolved DSA improved cross-platform analysis, dramatically increasing phasing rates. Germline SNVs, structural variations (SVs), and transposable elements (TEs) were recalled with 99.4%-99.7% accuracy in bulk tissue, and phased haplotype analysis reduced false positives by 15.4%-75.1% for putative somatic candidates. Long-read single-neuron sequencing detected nine somatic SV candidates, demonstrating enhanced sensitivity for rare variants, while TEnCATS identified eight low-frequency somatic TE candidates. These findings highlight advanced methodologies for precise somatic variant detection, critical for understanding mosaicism's role in health and disease.
