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

Recombinant DNA methodology has greatly increased our knowledge of the molecular pathology of the human genome at the same time as providing the means to diagnose inherited disease at the DNA level. Direct detection and analysis of a range of genetic defects are now possible using cloned gene or oligonucleotide probes or by direct sequencing of the disease gene(s). In addition, the use of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) within and around these genes as indirect genetic markers has not potentiated the tracking of disease alleles in affected pedigrees in cases where direct analysis was not feasible. RFLPs associated with linked anonymous segments may also be used not only to diagnose hitherto undetectable disease states, but also for chromosomal localization of the loci responsible. We present here an updated list of reports describing both the direct and the indirect analysis/diagnosis of human inherited disease; it is intended to serve as a guide to current molecular genetic approaches in diagnostic medicine.
