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

Nucleic acid hybridization serves as backbone for many high-throughput systems for detection, expression analysis, comparative genomics and re-sequencing. Specificity of hybridization between probes and intended targets is always critical. Approaches to ensure and evaluate specificity include use of mismatch probes, obtaining dissociation curves rather than single temperature hybridizations, and comparative hybridizations. In this study, we quantify effects of mismatch type and position on intensity of hybridization signals and provide a new approach based on dissociation rate constants to evaluate specificity of hybridized signals in complex target mixtures. Using an extensive set of 18mer oligonucleotide probes on an in situ synthesized biochip platform, we demonstrate that mismatches in the center of the probe are more discriminating than mismatches toward the extremities of the probe and mismatches toward the attached end are less discriminating than those toward the loose end. The observed destabilizing effect of a mismatch type agreed in general with predictions using the nearest neighbor model. Use of a new parameter, specific dissociation temperature (T(d-w), temperature of maximum specific dissociation rate constant), obtained from probe-target duplex dissociation profiles considerably improved the evaluation of specificity. These results have broad implications for hybridization data obtained from complex mixtures of nucleic acids.
