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

This report describes the development of a species testing system based on the diversity of nucleotide sequences in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) among species. Five species, human, cow, pig, dog, and cat, were considered. The partial nucleotide sequences in 16S ribosomal RNA coding region were chosen as the target for discriminating the species. The sequence diversities of this approximately 400 bp long region ranged from 15.7 to 24.1% among the five species. Sequencing analysis of this target on 50 individuals of each species (53 for dogs) revealed that the nucleotide sequences were well preserved within species. Species-specific PCR for each species was also designed, and satisfactory results with regard to both sensitivity and specificity were obtained. A validation study with DNA extracted from bovine bone exposed to the environment revealed that the PCRs designed in this study worked correctly. From the results obtained, it was shown that this testing system could be a good tool for species identification. One successful case report is also demonstrated.
