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

backgroundCytochrome P450 3A enzymes exhibit a variety of physiological roles and have been reported to be the most predominant enzymes involved in drugs metabolism. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes that code for these enzymes may result in functional changes that affect enzyme activity.

methodsA total of 94 post-menopausal breast cancer patients were recruited for the study and their DNA was isolated for polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The primers were designed using Primer3 software with primer specificities checked via the Basic Local Alignment Tool (BLAST) database. The primer specificity, functionality and annealing temperature were first investigated using uniplex PCR protocols, followed by a single multiplex polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. The digested amplification fragments were analysed by gel electrophoresis and subsequently validated by sequencing.

resultsA multiplex PCR-RFLP method was successfully developed for simultaneous detection of

conclusionThe technique is simple, cost-effective, time-saving and can be routinely applied in the identification of SNPs and determination of allelic and genotypic frequencies of
