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

Structural variants (SVs) are genomic rearrangements that involve at least 50 nucleotides and are known to have a serious impact on human health. While prior short-read sequencing technologies have often proved inadequate for a comprehensive assessment of structural variation, more recent long reads from Oxford Nanopore Technologies have already been proven invaluable for the discovery of large SVs and hold the potential to facilitate the resolution of the full SV spectrum. With many long-read sequencing studies to follow, it is crucial to assess factors affecting current SV calling pipelines for nanopore sequencing data. In this brief research report, we evaluate and compare the performances of five long-read SV callers across four long-read aligners using both real and synthetic nanopore datasets. In particular, we focus on the effects of read alignment, sequencing coverage, and variant allele depth on the detection and genotyping of SVs of different types and size ranges and provide insights into precision and recall of SV callsets generated by integrating the various long-read aligners and SV callers. The computational pipeline we propose is publicly available at https://github.com/davidebolo1993/EViNCe and can be adjusted to further evaluate future nanopore sequencing datasets.
