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

In this study, two new systems for species identification were developed based on size variation of mitochondrial DNA hypervariable regions among animals: one was a conventional method using non-fluorescent primer sets and agarose gel electrophoresis and the other was an automatic method using fluorescent primer sets and capillary electrophoresis. DNA samples from 18 mammal, four birds, and 19 fish species were amplified using three primer sets specific for mammals, birds, and fishes, respectively. The differences in the sizes of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products, ranging from about 350 to 900 bp, permitted us to identify species. These systems were successfully applied to various specimens from several criminal cases. In unknown samples, which were different in size from reference DNA markers, sequencing of the PCR products and subsequent BLAST analysis helped to identify species. Furthermore, the sequence data provided us with information on individuals. Because these species identification methods are very simple, easy, rapid, and exact, they are useful in the field of forensic science.
