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 report a pyrosequencing method for detecting a short amelogenin fragment to aid the gender identification. The PCR products (44/45 bp), including primers and target sequence (4/5 bp) consisting of three point mutations and one indel mutation, were sequenced by the pyrosequencing method. 100 randomly chosen DNA samples of healthy donors were analyzed with this method, and all of them were correctly typed. The sensitivity of the technique was 0.5 ng template DNA. No specific peak was found in any detected animals or organisms except for monkey. For blood samples that were left outside for 26 weeks and DNA degraded artificially by digesting with DNaseI, this method gave more accurate results than the conventional method. Moreover, four bone samples analyzed using the method gave clear pyrograph. This method is easy, quick, cheap and suitable for high-throughput analysis, especially for identifying the gender of highly-degraded DNA samples.
