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

We introduce a new approach to compare DNA primary sequences. The core of our method is a new measure of pairwise distances among sequences. Using the primitive discrimination substrings of sequence S and Q, a discrimination measure DM(S, Q) is defined for the similarity analysis of them. The proposed method does not require multiple alignments and is fully automatic. To illustrate its utility, we construct phylogenetic trees on two independent data sets. The results indicate that the method is efficient and powerful.
