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

Core-genome multi-locus sequence typing (cgMLST) is a well-established and standardized method for genomics-based cluster detection and phylogenomic analysis of bacteria. The reduced error rate of Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) R10 sequencing has prompted many laboratories to explore incorporating this technology into their activities. However, conflicting reports exist on the performance of ONT R10 sequencing for cgMLST analysis. This study evaluates the suitability of ONT R10 data for cgMLST allele calling and cluster detection for bacterial outbreak investigation. ONT and Illumina sequencing data were generated for 24 IMPORTANCE: This study evaluates the suitability of Oxford Nanopore Technologies R10 sequencing for core-genome multi-locus sequence typing (cgMLST), a widely used method in (clinical) outbreak investigation and bacterial strain tracking. We have sequenced 24
