Microarray analysis using disiloxyl 70mer oligonucleotides.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
DNA microarray technology has evolved dramatically in recent years, and is now a common tool in researchers' portfolios. The scope of the technique has expanded from small-scale studies to extensive studies such as classification of disease states. Technical knowledge regarding solid phase microarrays has also increased, and the results acquired today are more reliable than those obtained just a few years ago. Nevertheless, there are various aspects of microarray analysis that could be improved. In this article we show that the proportions of full-length probes used significantly affects the results of global analyses of transcriptomes. In particular, measurements of transcripts in low abundance are more sensitive to truncated probes, which generally increase the degree of cross hybridization and loss of specific signals. In order to improve microarray analysis, we here introduce a disiloxyl purification step, which ensures that all the probes on the microarray are at full length. We demonstrate that when the features on microarrays consist of full-length probes the signal intensity is significantly increased. The overall increase in intensity enables the hybridization stringency to be increased, and thus enhance the robustness of the results.
