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

Expansion and hyper-methylation of a CGG repeat tract are the main causes of fragile X syndrome (FRAXA). In some rare instances, FRAXA patients harbor not only an expanded CGG tract, but a deletion encompassing the CGG repeat and flanking sequences as well. Through the use of an SV40 primate replication system, it was possible to determine that CpG methylation and DNA replication may actually mediate the formation of these rare events. Also, the genetically stabilizing AGG interruptions can be lost by replication-mediated CGG deletions.
