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 mitochondrial genome has a number of characteristics that provide useful information to forensic investigations. Massively parallel sequencing (MPS) technologies offer improvements to the quantitative analysis of the mitochondrial genome, specifically the interpretation of mixed mitochondrial samples. Two-person mixtures with nuclear DNA ratios of 1:1, 5:1, 10:1, and 20:1 of individuals from different and similar phylogenetic backgrounds and three-person mixtures with nuclear DNA ratios of 1:1:1 and 5:1:1 were prepared using the Precision ID mtDNA Whole Genome Panel and Ion Chef, and sequenced on the Ion PGM or Ion S5 sequencer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). These data were used to evaluate whether and to what degree MPS mixtures could be deconvolved. Analysis was effective in identifying the major contributor in each instance, while SNPs from the minor contributor's haplotype only were identified in the 1:1, 5:1, and 10:1 two-person mixtures. While the major contributor was identified from the 5:1:1 mixture, analysis of the three-person mixtures was more complex, and the mixed haplotypes could not be completely parsed. These results indicate that mixed mitochondrial DNA samples may be interpreted with the use of MPS technologies.
