96 sample parallel acoustic fragmentation for high throughput next generation sequencing library preparation.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Random, unbiased fragmentation of genomic DNA is necessary for next generation sequencing (NGS), yet the process of DNA fragmentation is still a bottleneck in NGS pipelines. A technology that increases the efficiency and consistency of this step will be highly desirable for both research laboratories and in clinical diagnostics. Previously, we reported the development of a novel cavitation enhancement reagent that dramatically decreases the time and acoustic energy required for genomic DNA fragmentation. The inclusion of this reagent in standard protocols facilitates highly efficient sonication enabling the use of widely available and inexpensive equipment, including water bath-based sonicators. Here, we report that cavitation enhancement facilitates parallel fragmentation of up to 96 samples of genomic DNA in a modified sonication device. The parallel processing of multiple samples significantly reduces processing time, while maintaining fragment range reproducibility and preserving DNA quality for NGS. Consequently, this system removes a key bottleneck in standard NGS pipelines and facilitates efforts toward research and personalized genomics.
