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

summaryNanopore sequencers allow sequencing data to be accessed in real-time. This allows live analysis to be performed, while the sequencing is running, reducing the turnaround time of the results. We introduce realfreq, a framework for obtaining real-time base modification frequencies while a nanopore sequencer is in operation. Realfreq calculates and allows access to the real-time base modification frequency results while the sequencer is running. We demonstrate that the data analysis rate with realfreq on a laptop computer can keep up with the output data rate of a nanopore MinION sequencer, while a desktop computer can keep up with a single PromethION 2 solo flowcell. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Realfreq is a free and open-source application implemented in C programming language and shell scripts. The source code and the documentation for realfreq can be found at https://github.com/imsuneth/realfreq. The version used for the manuscript is also available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15128668.
