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

aimThe Factor V Leiden mutation (G1691A) is a clinically important polymorphism that results in an increased risk of thrombosis. The goal of this study was to compare a temperature gradient capillary electrophoresis (TGCE) platform for the detection of Factor V gene mutations to a conventional restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) assay.

methodsThree hundred and four samples were analyzed by both TGCE and a common clinical Mnl I/RFLP assay. Concordance of results between the two assays was observed for 302/304 (99.3%) of the samples.

resultsAll of the Leiden mutants (23/23, 100%) were identified by TGCE. Of the two discrepant results, one was caused by low peak heights in the TGCE output data and was easily rectified by the addition of a minimum peak height threshold. The second discrepancy resulted from the presence of a G-->A transition 95 bp downstream of the Leiden mutation site. This polymorphism represents a previously unreported alteration of the Factor V gene.

conclusionsThe TGCE assay is less labor-intensive and has a higher throughput capacity than the Mnl I/RFLP assay. TGCE is a less specific assay than the Mnl I/RFLP assay that allows for the detection of novel polymorphisms, but also creates the need for all positive TGCE results to be confirmed by an alternate method such as sequencing. Our results demonstrate that TGCE is a highly sensitive method for mutation detection and has utility for mutation discovery analysis.
