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

Previous approaches to comparing gene and chromosome organization between two genomes have been based on genetic maps or genomic sequences. We have developed a system to align an FPC-based physical map to a genomic sequence based on BAC end sequences and sequence-tagged hybridization markers and to align two FPC maps to one another based on shared markers and fingerprints. The system, called SyMAP (Synteny Mapping and Analysis Program), consists of an algorithm to compute synteny blocks and Web-based graphics to visualize the results. The approach to calculating the anchors (corresponding elements on the respective maps) maximizes the inclusion of anchors with different rates of divergence. Chains (putative syntenic sets of anchors) are computed using a dynamic programming algorithm, which includes off-diagonal anchors that result from map coordinate errors and small inversions. As the gap parameters (the distances allowed between anchors in a chain) can vary over different data sets and be difficult to set manually, they are automatically computed per data set. The criterion for a chain to be acceptable is based on the number of anchors and the Pearson correlation coefficient. Neighboring chains are merged into synteny blocks for display. This algorithm has been tested with three data sets that vary in the number of BACs, BAC end sequences, hybridization markers, distance between anchors, and number and antiquity of genome duplication events. The Web-based graphics uses Java for a highly interactive display that allows the user to interrogate the evidence of synteny.
