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

This work presents a selection of 16 SNPs from the coding region of the human mitochondrial DNA. The selected markers are used for the assignment of individuals to one of the nine major European Caucasian mitochondrial haplogroups. The selected SNPs are targeted in two multiplex systems, via the application of the SNaPshot kit, a multiplex method based on the dideoxy single-base extension of unlabeled oligonucleotide primers. The method is conceived as a rapid screening technique prior to sequencing analysis, in order to eliminate multiple suspects from an inquiry or to discriminate between stains in a high volume casework example. Moreover, the ability to assign an unknown sample to an mtDNA type of known Caucasian origin could be of probative value in some investigations. A database of 277 Austrian Caucasians has been constructed, and the probability of a chance match between two unrelated individuals is calculated as 11.4%. This novel multiplex PCR amplification and typing system for mtDNA coding region SNPs promises to be a convenient and informative new DNA profiling system in the forensic field.
