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

The entire mitochondrial DNA control region (approximately 1122 bp) of 270 blood samples (135 mother-child pairs) was determined by direct sequencing. Overall, 135 'generational events' were screened and within these, 20 mother-offspring pairs demonstrated more than 1 mtDNA haplotype. In 13 families, differences in the haplotypes between mother and offspring were detected in the form of heteroplasmic substitutions. Intergenerational comparisons led to the identification of three heteroplasmic point mutations and eight heteroplasmic length mutations affecting the children only. In two cases, a point heteroplasmy of the maternal sequence was resolved to homoplasmy in the corresponding sequence of the child. These discordant maternal-offspring haplotypes suggest that the shift in the mtDNA haplotype was the result of segregation of a limited maternal subpopulation of mtDNA. As technical implement, quality values assigned to basecalls were tested for their application in automated point heteroplasmy detection.
