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

The technique of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) offers a broad range of applications in the investigation of plant genomes. A promising prospect is the use of RAPD products as genetic markers. We have investigated a possible organellar source of fragments in RAPD patterns of total DNA. Two nearly-isogenic lines of cytoplasmic male-sterile and male-fertile sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) were subjected to RAPD analysis with six different primers. Total, nuclear, mitochondrial (mt), and chloroplast (cp), DNA from each line were investigated. Reproducible DNA fingerprints could be obtained from both organellar DNAs. Differences in band patterns of mtDNA between cytoplasmic male-sterile and -fertile lines were observed with five out of six primers, whereas different cpDNA patterns were generated by one of the primers. Consequently, the RAPD technique can be used to discriminate between different cytoplasms. Clear evidence is provided for the organellar origin of fragments in genomic (total DNA) RAPD patterns. The consequences of these results for the interpretation of RAPD analyses are discussed.
