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

Sanger sequencing of the first ~500 bp of the 16S rRNA gene is frequently used to identify bacterial pathogens that have ambiguous biochemical profiles or proteomic mass spectra. When diversity does not occur within that region, genus-level and/or species-level identification may not be possible, and a longer sequence or alternative target may be required to distinguish between genera/species. In this study, we evaluated a clinically relevant end-to-end solution for long-read (~1,500 nt) 16S rRNA next-generation sequencing by Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) compared to a ~500 nt Sanger sequencing approach for the identification of 153 bacterial clinical isolates. Sequencing data were analyzed using the IDNS software from SmartGene and its proprietary 16S Centroid reference database (Centroid database) SmartGene software and the Centroid database. The agreement of the two platforms on species- and genus-level identification was determined, and discrepancies were resolved by whole-genome sequencing. ONT had a higher taxonomic resolution at the genus level (
