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

β-thalassemia is one of the most common genetic disorders worldwide. Concerted efforts are being made to prevent the disease, as the medical and economic burden of thalassemia represents a major public health problem. The molecular diagnosis of the β-globin mutations that cause the disease currently involves a combination of classic methodologies. A microarray-based assay for parallel one-shot detection of mutations has been developed, but the assay remains too expensive for routine application. We developed a cost-effective plastic fiber-based DNA chip for the fast and reliable detection of 25 types of β-thalassemia mutations. Assay conditions were established and genotyping was successfully performed on a genomic sample from a β-thalassemia patient. Our data show that this β-thalassemia genotyping chip is an advantageous platform for mass genotyping because of its low cost, rapid results, and reliability.
