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

A new cloned DNA probe (U6.2), which recognizes polymorphisms near the locus for the fragile-X syndrome, was isolated. No recombinations were observed between the probe and the disease locus, although recombinations were observed with several other probes known to be located close to the fragile site. The locus defined by the probe, DXS304, cosegregated with the fragile-X phenotype in 29 informative meioses (zeta = 4.97, tau = 0.00). The degree of polymorphism at this locus and its proximity to the fragile-X locus makes it useful for carrier diagnosis and as a new starting point for attempts to clone the gene responsible for the disease.
