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

N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) is a widely used mutagen in genotypic and phenotypic screens aimed at elucidating gene function. The high rate at which ENU induces point mutations raises the possibility that an observed phenotype may be to the result of another unidentified linked mutation. This article presents methods for estimating the probability of additional linked coding mutations (1) in a given region of DNA using both Poisson and Bayesian models and in (2) an F(1) animal exposed to ENU that has undergone b number of backcrosses. Applying these methods to the mouse data set of Quwailid et al., we estimate that the probability that a confounding mutation is linked to a cloned mutation when the candidate region is 5 Mb is very slim (p < 0.002). Where mutants are identified by genotypic methods, we show that backcrossing in the absence of marker-assisted selection is an inefficient means of eliminating linked confounding mutations.
