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

Transcriptome analysis is a powerful tool for evaluating molecular pathways central to maturation of specific biological processes and disease states. Recently, PCR-based arrays have supplemented microarray and RNA-seq methodologies for studying changes in gene expression levels. PCR arrays are a more cost efficient alternative, however commercially available assemblies are generally limited to only a few more widely researched species (e.g., rat, human, and mouse). Consequently, the investigation of emerging or under-studied species is hindered until such assays are created. To address this need, we present data documenting the success of a developed workflow with enhanced potential to create and validate novel RT-PCR arrays for underrepresented species with whole or partial genome annotation. Utilizing this enhanced workflow, we have achieved a success rate of 80 % for first-round designs for over 400 primer pairs. Of these, ~160 distinct targets were sequence confirmed. Proof of concept studies using two unique arrays, one targeting the pathogenic bacterium Mycoplasma genitalium and the other specific for the guinea pig (Cavia porcellus), allowed us to identify significant (P < 0.05) changes in mRNA expression validated by subsequent qPCR. This flexible and adaptable platform provides a valuable and cost-effective alternative for gene expression analysis.
