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

Nanopore direct RNA sequencing (DRS) enables direct measurement of RNA molecules, including their native RNA modifications, without prior conversion to cDNA. However, commercial methods for molecular barcoding of multiple DRS samples are lacking, and community-driven efforts, such as DeePlexiCon, are not compatible with newer RNA chemistry flowcells and the latest generation of graphics processing units (GPUs). To overcome these limitations, we introduce SeqTagger, a rapid and robust method that can demultiplex DRS data sets with 99% precision and 95% recall. We demonstrate the applicability of SeqTagger in both RNA002/R9.4 and RNA004/RNA chemistries and show its robust performance both for long and short RNA libraries, including custom libraries that do not contain standard poly(A) tails, such as Nano-tRNAseq libraries. Finally, we demonstrate that increasing the multiplexing up to 96 barcodes yields highly accurate demultiplexing models. SeqTagger can be executed in a standalone manner or through the MasterOfPores NextFlow workflow. The availability of an efficient and simple multiplexing strategy improves the cost-effectiveness of this technology and facilitates the analysis of low-input biological samples.
