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

Entire mtDNA control region sequences from 100 individuals in a west Eurasian population sample from southern Germany (around the city of Ulm) were generated and analyzed. The control region was amplified in one piece and sequenced with ten different sequencing primers. Sequence evaluation was performed independently. Phylogenetic analyses were used for quality assurance purposes and for the determination of the haplogroup affiliation of the samples. The sequences were scrutinized performing a quasi-median network analysis. To visualize character conflicts, frequent mutations were filtered, and the reduced data were represented by the torso of their quasi-median network. Character incompatibilities were found to be based on real biological patterns of homoplasy. The population data will be incorporated in the EMPOP database ( http://www.empop.org ).
