Ten simple rules to build genomics capacity for routine laboratory practice in the Global South.
Article in PLoS computational biology, 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
Developing sustainable genomics capacity in the Global South requires more than technology transfer; it depends on human-centered approaches based on the workflows and existing expertise of laboratory personnel, institutional collaboration, and long-term integration into health systems. Drawing on lessons learned from regional capacity-building initiatives, this article proposes ten simple rules for implementing and sustaining genomics capacity within public health and clinical laboratory settings. These rules emphasize local context, strategic planning, continuous learning, and equitable collaboration. Together, they provide a roadmap for laboratories aiming to transform genomic technologies from research tools for diagnosis, surveillance and decision-making, into routine instruments for public health in low- and middle-income countries.
