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

purposeTo evaluate the use of multiple displacement amplification (MDA) for preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) of α- and β-double thalassemia.

methodWhole genome of a single cell was directly amplified using MDA and its products were used as templates in fluorescent gap polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of α-thalassemia and in PCR-reverse dot blot analysis, singleplex fluorescent PCR of β-28 and CD17 mutation and HumTH01 for β-thalassemia.

results1) MDA from single cell could produce enough DNA templates for the detection of both α and β-thalassemia; 2) The established MDA-PGD protocol for α- and β-double thalassemia was successfully applied in PGD of six embryos, among which, three were transferred, but no pregnancy ensued.

conclusionsThe use of MDA as a universal step allows for the simultaneous diagnosis of two or more hereditary defects.
