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

key messageWe developed a method for detection of mutants in a large number of plants, and found this method to be applicable to detection of a mutant allele at a concentration of 1/1000. Many techniques for SNP analysis have been developed, but most of these techniques are not so sensitive to be used for detection of mutants in a large number of plants. Although some highly sensitive methods of SNP analysis have been reported, they are costly. In the present study, a method for concentrating mutant DNA was examined for sensitive detection of an SNP allele in a bulked DNA sample. PCR products of mutant alleles were captured by biotin-labeled oligonucleotide conjugated with streptavidin-coated magnetic beads. By repeated captures of each strand and combining both strands, mutant alleles with a concentration of 1/1000 in wild-type alleles were detectable by CAPS or dCAPS analysis. Indirect capture of a mutant allele was possible, but efficiency was slightly lower than that of the direct capture. The developed method was applied to detection of contamination of rice grains by grains of a different cultivar. Possible applications of this method are discussed.
