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

The number of global gene expression studies has increased significantly in recent years. It is assumed that the different techniques employed report similar levels of gene expression for each sequence type. While this may be true for many species, polyploids containing homoeologous and paralogous gene copies represent a unique situation. In this paper, we describe the comparison of the Affymetrix GeneChip Wheat Genome Array, an in-house custom-spotted complementary DNA array and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the study of gene expression in hexaploid wheat. Analysis of the data generated from each platform revealed little concordance and suggested that global comparisons are not possible. Potential causes of these inter-platform discrepancies were investigated and revealed to be due to the inability of the platforms to discriminate between different but related transcripts. Our results also showed that the traditionally used array validation technique, quantitative reverse transcription PCR, differs in its discriminatory ability, resulting in the poor confirmation rates seen in previous polyploid studies. These findings have implications for gene expression studies in polyploid organisms and highlight the need for homoeologous- and paralogous-specific arrays when investigating polyploid gene expression.
