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

Acquired TERT promoter (TERTp) variants are found in the blood of patients with telomere biology disorders and carry diagnostic and prognostic significance. Detection of these variants is challenging because of low variant allele frequencies (VAFs) and high GC content. The sensitivity of long-read amplicon sequencing with deepSNV analysis, referred to as LR-deep AmpSeq, for TERTp variant detection was tested. Among 47 patients with telomere biology disorder features, an average depth of coverage of 7943× was achieved, and seven TERTp variants were detected in six individuals (13%) with VAFs ranging from 0.006 to 0.33. These results demonstrate that LR-deep AmpSeq is a sensitive, cost-effective method to detect low VAF TERTp variants.
