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 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is a variation in the DNA sequence that occurs when a single nucleotide in the genome differs across members of the same species. Variations in the DNA sequences of humans are associated with human diseases. This makes SNPs as a key to open up the door of personalized medicine. SNP(s) can also be used for human identification and forensic applications. Compared to short tandem repeat (STR) loci, SNPs have much lower statistical testing power for individual recognition due to the fact that there are only 3 possible genotypes for each SNP marker, but it may provide sufficient information to identify the population to which a certain samples may belong. In this report, using eight SNP markers for 641 samples, we performed a standard statistical classification procedure and found that 86% of the samples could be classified accurately under a two-population model. This study suggests the potential use of SNP(s) in population classification with a small number (n ≤ 8) of genetic markers for forensic screening, biodiversity and disaster victim controlling.
