ReviewMolecular pathology : MP1999
Demystified ... the polymerase chain reaction.
Review in Molecular pathology : MP, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Since its initial description over twenty years ago the PCR has become one of the most valuable and flexible tools available to biomedical research. Subsequently, refinements and modifications to the basic approach, many of which have been described in this review, have enabled the application of the PCR to many areas of diagnostic medicine and have ensured its rapid acceptance as a routine test in many pathology disciplines. The growing importance of molecular approaches to the diagnosis of disease, particularly in histopathology, will continue to secure an ever expanding role for the PCR in diagnostic pathology.
