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

In this paper, we have evaluated a targeted high-throughput massive parallel sequencing approach for detecting single nucleotide mutations or small genomic changes generated by new genomic techniques (NGT). We used unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) for the quantification of the mutant alleles and duplex sequencing to confirm a mutation on both strands to avoid polymerase chain reaction (PCR) artefacts or sequencing miss-calls. We tested the approach in blinded analyses on a set of mixed NGT-modified tomato lines and identified each single nucleotide mutation or small insert/deletion (InDel) down to a 0.1 % level. To our knowledge, this is the first performance evaluation of a duplex sequencing approach for detecting and quantifying small NGT DNA changes without a priori knowledge of the mutation type and position in a target region. Our study advances the scientific discussion on detecting NGT-induced DNA modifications in plants and food products, evaluating the potential and current limitations of a cutting-edge NGS-approach.
