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

backgroundArray comparative genomic hybridisation is a powerful tool for the detection of copy number changes in the genome.

methodsA human X and Y chromosome tiling path array was developed for the analysis of sex chromosome aberrations.

resultsNormal X and Y chromosome profiles were established by analysis with DNA from normal fertile males and females. Detection of infertile males with known Y deletions confirmed the competence of the array to detect AZFa, AZFb and AZFc deletions and to distinguish between different AZFc lesions. Examples of terminal and interstitial deletions of Xp (previously characterised through cytogenetic and microsatellite analysis) have been assessed using the arrays, thus both confirming and refining the established deletion breakpoints. Breakpoints in iso-Yq, iso-Yp and X-Y translocation chromosomes and X-Y interchanges in XX males are also amenable to analysis. DISCUSSION: The resolution of the tiling path clone set used allows breakpoints to be placed within 100-200 kb, permitting more precise genotype/phenotype correlations. These data indicate that the combined X and Y tiling path arrays provide an effective tool for the investigation and diagnosis of sex chromosome copy number aberrations and rearrangements.
