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

purposeThis study investigated the allelic frequency of 4 short terminal repeats (STRs) in Han and She populations from eastern China.

methodsDNA samples from Han (N = 110) and She (N = 110) healthy subjects were amplified using PCR and primers specific for the STRs. D21S11 and D21S1446 (chromosome 21) and D18S865 and D18S535 (chromosome 18). The frequency and homozygocity of different STRs were evaluated.

resultsFor both populations, D21S11 and D18S535 were more polymorphic than D21S1446 and D18S865, and the D21S1446 1 allele was very common (48.6% and 55.0% for the Han and She groups, respectively).The Han and She groups significantly differed from one another in respect to the distribution of D21S11, D18S865, and D18S535 allelic frequency (all P -values ≤ 0.48) but had a similar allelic distribution for D21S1446 (P = 0.106). D21S1446 was found to be homozygous about 50% of the time which was significantly greater compared to the other STRs analyzed.

conclusionThis study found that the Han and She differ genetically at 3 autosomal STRs located on chromosome 18 and 21. The STR D21S1146 was often homozygous within these groups, indicating it would be poor marker for analyzing trisomy within these populations.
