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

The random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method was used to examine genetic variation in experimental clones of Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes in two experimental groups, as well as their common ancestor. Six clones derived from a single colony of P. pseudoalcaligenes were cultured in two different thermal regimes for 10 months. Three clones in the Control group were cultured at constant temperature of 35 degrees C and another three clones in the High Temperature (HT) group were propagated at incremental temperature ranging from 41 to 47 degrees C for 10 months. A total of 45 RAPD primers generated 146 polymorphic markers. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed mild (11%) but significant (P < 0.001) genetic difference between the Control and the HT clones. Phylogenetic analysis based on pairwise genetic distances showed that the HT clones were more divergent from the ancestor and from each other than the Control clones, implying that the HT clones of P. pseudoalcaligenes may have evolved faster than the Control clones.
