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

To increase the success rate of Y-STR genotyping for degraded DNA, we have developed two multiplex PCR sets for 21 Y-STR loci. Besides the 17 Y-STR loci of DYS19, DYS385, DYS389-I, DYS389-II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS448, DYS456, DYS458, DYS635, and GATA H4.1 contained in a commercial Y-STR kit, AmpFlSTR Yfiler, the other four loci of DYS388, DYS446, DYS447, and DYS449 were also included in the multiplexes to increase the discrimination capacity. Among a total of 21 Y-STR loci, the primers for eight loci (DYS385, DYS390, DYS438, DYS446, DYS448, DYS449, and DYS635) were newly designed in the present study and nine loci (DYS385, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS438, DYS439, DYS448, and DYS635) have PCR amplicons smaller than those of the AmpFlSTR Yfiler kit. A sensitivity test using serially diluted standard 9948 male DNA showed that all the values of Y-STR loci in the Y-miniplexes are reliable at template concentrations as low as 30 pg. We compared the effectiveness of the two multiplexes with the AmpFlSTR Yfiler kit by using both enzymatically degraded DNA and 30 samples of 50-year-old skeletal remains. This comparison demonstrated that the new Y-miniplex sets can produce a better signal from degraded DNA than the AmpFlSTR Yfiler kit.
