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

A direct, non-radioactive method of quantitative PCR amplification has been investigated for the diagnosis of deletion and duplication carriers in the dystrophin gene. The simultaneous amplification of two loci, or several loci using multiplex PCR, allows for the direct comparison of relative amounts of products from normal homozygous loci and potentially heterozygous deleted/duplicated loci. Sufficient cycles of PCR are performed to enable visual analysis or densitometric quantification of products on ethidium bromide stained gels. The method has been verified in blind trials performed on known genotypes and by showing that under the conditions used the assay remains within the exponential phase of amplification.
