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

Eleven X-chromosomal short tandem repeats (STRs) from two multiplex PCR approaches (DXS6807, DXS8378, DXS7132, DXS6800, DXS9898, DXS7424, DXS101, DXS7133, HPRTB, DXS8377, and DXS7423), located in four different X-chromosomal linkage groups, were typed in a population sample from Ghana, Africa. After genotyping unrelated men (129) and women (114) from the Ashanti population, forensic efficiency parameters such as polymorphism information content and mean exclusion chance were calculated. A deviation from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium could not be found. The investigation of 11 father-daughter and seven mother-son meioses revealed no mutations in any STR analyzed. Our data were compared with European, African-American, and Asian populations from the literature.
