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

PCR clamping by locked nucleic acid (LNA) oligonucleotides is an effective technique for selectively amplifying the community SSU rRNA genes of plant-associated bacteria. However, the original primer set often shows low amplification efficiency. In order to improve this efficiency, new primers were designed at positions to compete with LNA oligonucleotides. Three new sets displayed higher amplification efficiencies than the original; however, efficiency varied among the primer sets. Two new sets appeared to be available in consideration of bacterial profiles by next-generation sequencing. One new set, KU63f and KU1494r, may be applicable to the selective gene amplification of plant-associated bacteria.
