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

Gene expression profiling is one of the many applications that have benefited from the massively parallel nucleic acid detection capability of DNA microarrays. Current expression arrays, however, are expensive and inflexible. They are custom-designed for each organism and they do not offer the possibility of incorporating updated genomic information without production of a new chip. One possible solution is the development of a universal chip, consisting of all 4n possible DNA sequences of length n. Studying different organisms or new genes would simply require modifications to the hybridization pattern analysis software. The key problem is to find a value of n that is large enough to afford sufficient specificity, yet is small enough for practical fabrication and readout. We developed an analytical model, supported by computer-assisted calculation with yeast and mouse transcript data, to argue that it is both practical and useful to fabricate n-mer arrays with 10 < or = n < or = 16.
