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

Achieving high fidelity chemical synthesis on glass plates has become increasingly important, since glass plates are substrates widely used for miniaturized chemical and biochemical reactions and analyses. DNA chips can be directly prepared by synthesizing oligonucleotides on glass plates, but the characterization of these micro-syntheses has been limited by the sub-picomolar amount of material available. Most DNA chip syntheses have been assayed using in situ coupling of fluorescent molecules to the 5'-OH of the synthesized oligonucleotides. We herein report a systematic investigation of oligonucleotide synthesis on glass plates with the reactions carried out in an automated DNA synthesizer using standard phosphoramidite chemistry. The analyses were performed using (32)P gel electrophoresis of the oligonucleotides cleaved from glass plates to provide product distribution profiles according to chain length of oligonucleotides. 5'-Methoxythymidine was used as the chain terminator, which permits assay of coupling reaction yields as a function of chain length growth. The results of this work reveal that a major cause of lower fidelity synthesis on glass plates is particularly inefficient reactions of the various reagents with functional groups close to glass plate surfaces. These problems cannot be detected by previous in situ fluorescence assays. The identification of this origin of low fidelity synthesis on glass plates should help to achieve improved synthesis for high quality oligonucleotide microarrays.
