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 real time polymerase chain reaction (rtPCR) is an essential method for detecting nucleic acids that has a wide range of clinical and research applications. Current multiplexed rtPCR is capable of detecting four to six nucleic acid targets in a single sample. However, advances in clinical medicine are driving the need to measure many more targets at once. We demonstrate a novel method which significantly increases the multiplexing capability of any existing rtPCR instrument without new hardware, software, or chemistry. The technique works by varying the relative TaqMan probe concentrations amongst targets that are measured in a single fluorometric channel. Our fluorescent amplitude modulation method generates a unique rtPCR signature for every combination of targets present in a reaction. We demonstrate this technique by measuring nine different targets across three color channels with TaqMan reporting probes, yielding a detection accuracy of 98.9% across all combinations of targets. In principle this method could be extended to measure 6 or more targets per color channel across any number of color channels without loss in specificity.
