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

Batten disease is an autosomal recessive disorder also known as juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. The most common mutation for this disease is an approximately 1-kbp deletion in the CLN3 gene, which accounts for about 80 to 85% of the mutation load. We developed a rapid assay for this mutation using the PCR to produce amplicons that are detected by nucleobase quenching of the fluorescent signal from a probe labeled with a fluorescent dye. The probe overlaps the deletion breakpoint and is completely base paired to the mutant amplicon. However, three bases at the 5' end of the probe do not base pair with the wild-type amplicon. The alleles are distinguished by the different melting temperatures of the probe amplicon hybrids. Comparison of this new method with an allele-specific PCR and gel electrophoresis-based method showed 100% concordance in determination of the genotype for 30 specimens (11 homozygous mutant, 8 heterozygotes, and 11 homozygous normal). PCR followed by allele-specific melting curve analysis using nucleobase quenching has utility as a rapid method for detection of the most common mutation that causes Batten disease.
