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

backgroundSince 2001, we have used conformation sensitive gel electrophoresis (CSGE) as our first choice for F9 gene mutation screening, leading to the identification of about 300 mutations causing haemophilia B (HB). To circumvent the disadvantages of CSGE, we recently evaluated high-resolution melting analysis (HRM), which represents the next-generation mutation scanning technology. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn order to explore and validate HRM as a new screening method, we analysed 26 HB patients with previous CSGE-detected mutations, 22 patients with CSGE-undetectable mutations and 13 HB patients who had not been previously investigated.

resultsAll 61 investigated samples, including the previously investigated and not previously investigated samples, proved to be HRM-positive, with the new screening method showing good efficiency and higher sensitivity than the previously used method. Mixing normal and unknown DNA to generate heterozygote conditions proved an excellent strategy to push the detection performance to its maximum. DISCUSSION: Mutation scanning by HRM analysis seems to be ideal in our context because it is rapid, cheap and capable of detecting the vast majority of mutations in HB patients. Nevertheless, to improve the detection ability of this scanning technology, it is recommended to start with a good strategy, based on good quality samples and optimised polymerase chain reaction amplification parameters, especially regarding primers and length of the amplicons.
