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

With the use of polymerases having 3' to 5' exonuclease activity and 3' phosphorothioate-modified allele-specific primers, we recently devised a SNP-operated on/off switch controlling DNA polymerization. One advantage of this novel on/off switch is its adaptability to arrayed primer extension. To further expand its application in genetic analysis, this new on/off switch was evaluated in discrimination of the match/mismatch status of single nucleotides upstream from the primer 3' terminal. A set of seven amplicons was developed with the templates differing from each other by a single nucleotide. Using this set of amplicons, the new on/off switch was shown to be able to efficiently discriminate single nucleotide polymorphisms from the primer 3' terminus to the -6 position from the primer 3' terminus. These data, illustrating the broad single nucleotide discrimination ability of this novel on/off switch, explain why the SNP-operated on/off switch is powerful in SNP analysis, and also indicate useful applications to genetic analysis additional to SNP assay. First, these data broaden the application of the novel on/off switch in the analysis of mutations other than SNPs. Second, it raises a nucleotide-walking algorithm suitable for de novo array-based sequencing analysis.
