Establishment of the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique for genotyping of pollen beetle (Meligethes aeneus)--a noxious insect pest on oilseed rape (Brassica napus).
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
In order to conduct studies concerning genetic variability of pollen beetles (Meligethes aeneus), a genotyping protocol was established. No genome information is available for pollen beetles so the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique was chosen since it does not depend on any prior sequence information of the samples and also is a sensitive and robust technique. However, several modifications were needed in order to adapt the method for analysis of pollen beetles. Basic modifications included (i) alterations of DNA purification, (ii) use of two six-cutter restriction enzymes, (iii) and modified PCR conditions. This protocol resulted in a favourable number of fragments of an appropriate size range for standard gel analysis by a DNA sequencer applicable to a single insect and even body parts enabling different assays to be conducted on a single specimen. Pollen beetles from different areas of Sweden were analysed to verify the reproducibility and efficacy of the protocol as well as for phenetic analysis. The high reproducibility of the modified AFLP protocol allows it to be used as a reliable tool for genotype analysis of pollen beetles.
