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

Optical Genome Mapping (OGM) is an emerging technology in clinical laboratories for identifying copy number and structural variations in the DNA of patients with haematological malignancies. A critical initial step is the isolation of ultra-high molecular weight genomic DNA (UHMW gDNA), which typically requires 1.5 million white blood cells. However, this cell number is not always achievable in clinical practice due to various limitations. For instance, diagnostic analysis of multiple myeloma (MM) is should be performed on CD138-positive cells derived from bone marrow aspirates (BMA), where both the sample volume and the number of CD138-positive cells This method describes a customized protocol which enables isolation of UHMW gDNA starting from as few as 500 000 cells, while still resulting in DNA of sufficient quality and quantity to perform OGM and collect at least 1500 Gbp of data.
