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

We developed a benchmark set of subclonal variants in the Genome in a Bottle (GIAB) Consortium HG002 reference material (RM) DNA for evaluating lower-frequency variant callsets. We used a somatic variant caller with high-coverage (300×) whole-genome sequencing data from the GIAB Ashkenazi Jewish trio to identify potential subclonal variants in the HG002 RM DNA. Using orthogonal sequencing data and manual curation, we defined a benchmark set with 85 high-confidence subclonal single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) (allele frequency [AF] > 5%) and a benchmark region covering 2.45 Gbp of the autosomes. External validation supported that it can be used to reliably identify both false negatives and false positives for a variety of sequencing technologies and variant callers. By adding our characterization of mosaic SNVs in this widely used cell line, we have expanded the scope of bioinformatic and sequencing applications for which the HG002 GIAB RM can be used to include benchmarking subclonal SNVs.
