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

Here, we report an efficient method for extracting high-quality mRNA from soil. Key steps in the isolation of total RNA were low-pH extraction (pH 5.0) and Q-Sepharose chromatography. The removal efficiency of humic acids was 94 to 98% for all soils tested. To enrich mRNA, subtractive hybridization of rRNA was most efficient. Subtractive hybridization may be followed by exonuclease treatment if the focus is on the analysis of unprocessed mRNA. The total extraction method can be completed within 8 h, resulting in enriched mRNA ranging from 200 bp to 4 kb in size.
