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

Genomic surveillance of pathogens is essential to trace infections and analyze resistance markers. Core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST) facilitates genomic surveillance by simplified analysis and standardization. However, its application is limited by the poor cost-efficiency of short-read (SR) sequencing. Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing (ONT-LR), which allows fast on-site analysis with comparatively low costs, could provide an alternative. Despite ONT-LR raw read accuracy improvement, evidence for methylation-based errors accumulates. PCR-based library preparation, suggested as a solution, presumably poses difficulties for GC-rich bacteria. We challenged ONT-LR-based cgMLST using the highly GC-rich pathogen IMPORTANCE: This study highlights a significant advancement in genomic surveillance of bacterial pathogens, specifically addressing the challenges posed by the GC-rich species
