Protocol: Organism-level agreement with routine culture, 62 BALF specimens (Hu et al. 2026) · Dataset: 62 residual BALF specimens with culture results (Hu et al. 2026)

Sorted by False negatives (sequencing negative, comparator positive; organism level; organisms: all organisms; reference: routine culture) (lower is better). The best value in each column is highlighted. Decimals are rounded for display; each value links to the printed value and its source.

Recorded evaluations

Each evaluation records what was tested and under which conditions.

Baseline coverage

Reference methods help show what a model adds beyond simple controls. We track a null control and a conventional method for each protocol.

0 of 2 active baseline roles have published Rewire measurements in this release. Measurements on a selected protocol do not establish coverage of an entire suite.

No execution recipe linked to this protocol. Recipe availability does not establish a completed evaluation.

Author-reported evaluations: 2

Literature evidence is not a Rewire measurement. Executed but unpublished runs and private review status are not included.

Null control

Proposed control: requires review

Select a task-valid null control after reviewing inputs and metric

Protocol-specific applicability, permitted inputs, access, split, evaluator and execution requirements need review before implementation or execution.

This is a suggested selection rule, not a validated method or a measured score.

Conventional reference

Proposed control: requires review

Select an upstream conventional reference after reviewing the full protocol

Protocol-specific applicability, permitted inputs, access, split, evaluator and execution requirements need review before implementation or execution.

This is a suggested selection rule, not a validated method or a measured score.

Coverage is derived from release 2026-10-22-1b7cf027e4f6. Source citations describe the original records; they do not validate an unreviewed baseline proposal. No results have been generated by this audit.

Run instructions

No runnable recipe has been reviewed for this protocol. Dataset access, model requirements, licences and compute requirements must be checked against its sources before execution.

Strengths, limitations and unresolved questions

Evidence

Source checking verifies the cited claim or transcription. It does not establish independent reproduction.

Evidence table

Inspect claims, sources and review details

Trace each statement to its source and review. A context-only reference supports the record generally; it does not verify an individual field. Source checking does not reproduce an experiment.

One row per statement and cited source. Multiple citations are not independent evaluations. Shared locators are labelled explicitly.

Technical metadata and extraction receipts

Stable ID: dna-pathogen-20261011-hu2026-protocol-culture

areas: microbes-communities
contexts: clinical_research
protocol: Reference: Routine culture, which includes only culturable microorganisms. Each organism result is concordant positive, sequencing positive and comparator negative, sequencing negative and comparator positive, or concordant negative; PPA = TP/(TP+FN) and NPA = TN/(TN+FP). Supplemental Tables S6 and S7 label the culture column 'Sensitivity' and 'Specificity'.
version: Table 2; Supplemental Tables S6 and S7
source locator: Methods 'Clinical performance evaluation and reference standards' paragraphs 1-3; Table 2 footnote
limitations: Organism-level agreement; a specimen contributes one comparison per organism detected by either side.; Culture recovers only culturable organisms, so most sequencing-only detections count as false positives against it.
