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

DNA isolated from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue is often fragmented and cross-linked and is therefore difficult to genotype. To enable this source of DNA for genotyping analysis using Taqman probes, we tested whether enrichment of the target genes would increase the amount of available DNA. For enrichment of the target genes, we used preamplification by means of diluted Taqman assays. To establish the appropriateness of preamplification, we used DNA extracted from paraffin-embedded tissue and compared the genotyping results of a series of single nucleotide polymorphisms assessed in DNA samples with and without preamplification. In a subset of patients, DNA was isolated from both blood and FFPE tissue to test the reliability of genotyping results derived after preamplification. We found an increase in call rate after preamplification and a convincing concordance in genotype. Based on our findings, we can safely conclude that preamplification of DNA isolated from paraffin-embedded tissue is a valuable and reliable method to optimize genotyping results.
