Detection of low-frequency mutations in clinical samples by increasing mutation abundance via the excision of wild-type sequences.
Article in Nature biomedical engineering, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
The efficiency of DNA-enrichment techniques is often insufficient to detect mutations that occur at low frequencies. Here we report a DNA-excision method for the detection of low-frequency mutations in genomic DNA and in circulating cell-free DNA at single-nucleotide resolution. The method is based on a competitive DNA-binding-and-digestion mechanism, effected by deoxyribonuclease I (DNase) guided by single-stranded phosphorothioated DNA (sgDNase), for the removal of wild-type DNA strands. The sgDNase can be designed against any wild-type DNA sequences, allowing for the uniform enrichment of all the mutations within the target-binding region of single-stranded phosphorothioated DNA at mild-temperature conditions. Pretreatment with sgDNase enriches all mutant strands with initial frequencies down to 0.01% and leads to high discrimination factors for all types of single-nucleotide mismatch in multiple sequence contexts, as we show for the identification of low-abundance mutations in samples of blood or tissue from patients with cancer. The method can be coupled with next-generation sequencing, droplet digital polymerase chain reaction, Sanger sequencing, fluorescent-probe-based assays and other mutation-detection methods.
