An informative set of SSLP markers and genomic profiles in the rat MHC, the RT1 complex.
Article in Immunogenetics, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Almost 10,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) had been identified in the RT1 complex, the major histocompatibility complex of the rat, but less than approximately 0.5% have been characterized. In the context of the incomplete characterization of most SNPs, simple sequence length polymorphism (SSLP) marker development is still valuable for understanding the involvement of genes in the RT1 in controlling disease susceptibility, since SSLPs are user-friendly and cost-effective genetic markers in rat genome analysis. In this study, we developed a set of 67 SSLP markers, including 57 novel markers, to cover the entire RT1 complex and then created genetic profiles across 67 rat strains. These markers are located almost every 50 kb in the RT1 complex and show comparable polymorphism; the average number of alleles was 8.04 +/- 3.44 and the average polymorphic rate was 71 +/- 23%. Interestingly, markers failing to amplify polymerase chain reaction products were highly observed in all strains except for BN/SsNHsd, which suggests the existence of highly variable genomic sequences or genomic rearrangements in the RT1 region across rat strains. Based on the phylogenic tree and individual genotyping data, we identified 28 SSLP marker haplotypes in the RT1 region that roughly consisted of three genomic regions. These findings provided new insight into the genomic organization of the RT1 complex and we recognized the need of additional RT1 genome sequences in different strains. Owing to the accuracy and ease of determination, PCR-based SSLP genotyping could replace serological typing in genetic analyses and characterization of rat major histocompatibility.
