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

Instability of repetitive DNA sequences causes numerous hereditary disorders in humans, the majority of which are associated with trinucleotide repeat expansions. Here, we describe a unique system to study instability of triplet repeats in a yeast experimental setting. Using fluctuation assay and the novel program FluCalc we are able to accurately estimate the rates of large-scale expansions, as well as repeat-mediated mutagenesis and gross chromosomal rearrangements for different repeat sequences.
