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

Background: Genetic testing is essential for disease screening, diagnosis, prognosis, and pharmacotherapy guidance. Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) offers a cost-effective platform for long-read sequencing, yet its routine use in clinical diagnostics remains under evaluation. We tested different nanopore sequencing pipelines aimed at accurately detecting single-nucleotide variants (SNV) in a gene locus spanning ⁓25 kb. Methods: As a proof of concept, Results: The combination of super high accuracy (SUP) basecalling with Longshot variant calling demonstrated the highest performance across flow cells. MinION flow cell reached a perfect F1-score of 100%, while the more cost-effective Flongle flow cell remained a viable alternative (mean F1-score: 98.2% ± 4.2). Throughput analysis indicated that a single MinION flow cell could process up to 96 samples and ⁓40 long sequencing regions, whereas a Flongle flow cell could support sequencing of 96 samples and one long region. Conclusion: The proposed nanopore-based SNV identification workflows may support the development of long-read, targeted gene panels, offering a promising tool for both diagnostic and discovery applications, particularly in multi-gene settings such as oncology and cardiology.
