Determination of RET Sequence Variation in an MEN2 Unaffected Cohort Using Multiple-Sample Pooling and Next-Generation Sequencing.
Article in Journal of thyroid research, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Multisample, nonindexed pooling combined with next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used to discover RET proto-oncogene sequence variation within a cohort known to be unaffected by multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2). DNA samples (113 Caucasians, 23 persons of other ethnicities) were amplified for RET intron 9 to intron 16 and then divided into 5 pools of <30 samples each before library prep and NGS. Two controls were included in this study, a single sample and a pool of 50 samples that had been previously sequenced by the same NGS methods. All 59 variants previously detected in the 50-pool control were present. Of the 61 variants detected in the unaffected cohort, 20 variants were novel changes. Several variants were validated by high-resolution melting analysis and Sanger sequencing, and their allelic frequencies correlated well with those determined by NGS. The results from this unaffected cohort will be added to the RET MEN2 database.
