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

Whether for basic research or biotechnology, DNA microarrays have become indispensable tools for studying the transcriptome. Normally, analyses begin with a set of known cDNA sequences to prepare microarray chips specific for a target organism with an extensively sequenced and annotated genome. For many organisms, however, genome programs are not complete or have not been initiated. The present study demonstrates that, whether using homologous or heterologous arrays, the chances of seeing interesting differences are similar. When a specific DNA microarray is not available, the results indicate that a reverse approach based on a heterologous array can be used to probe for interesting differences in gene expression. This may be sufficient in many studies but, if necessary, the genes exhibiting the most significant changes subsequently could be identified by traditional molecular approaches. Such a reverse strategy can provide a convenient and inexpensive approach to probe for significant genetic changes in many diverse studies, to monitor or mine critical biological information for basic or applied research, long before complete sequence data are available.
