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

By sequencing the control region of mitochondrial DNA, the majority of human DNA samples can be differentiated. A further increase in differentiation probability may be possible, e.g. by extending the sequenced region to coding regions of the mitochondrial genome. Restriction to those positions that do not result in a change of the amino acids guarantees that the information thus obtained does not refer to phenotypically relevant information. In the present study the sequence data of the mitochondrial genes MTATP6, MTATP8 and MTND4 were collected from 109 subjects and analyzed in order to define variable positions suitable for identification purposes. There were 32 variable base positions among 850 bases studied from MTATPase genes and 1,200 bases of the MTND4 gene showed 28 variable positions. "Hot spots" for base exchanges were found in both regions and one position (position 11,719 in the MTND4 gene) seems to be suitable for SNP investigation for forensic purposes.
