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

We have previously shown a duplication in 17p11.2 with probe pVAW409R3 (D17S122) in 12 families with hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type I (HMSN I) or Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1 (CMT1). In this study we aimed to estimate the size of the duplication using additional polymorphic DNA markers located in 17p11.2-p12. Two other 17p11.2 markers, pVAW412R3 (D17S125) and pEW401 (D17S61), were found to be duplicated in all HMSN I patients tested. Furthermore, all HMSN I patients showed the same duplication junction fragment with probe pVAW409R3. On the genetic map the duplicated markers span a minimal distance of 10 cM while on the physical map they are present in the same NotI restriction fragment of 1150 kb. The discrepancy between the genetic and physical map distances suggests that the 17p11.2 region is extremely prone to recombinational events. The high recombination rate may be a contributing factor to the genetic instability of this chromosomal region.
