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

backgroundThe efficient and rapid extraction of high-quality genomic DNA from clotted blood samples, which normally have a low yield and poor quality, is an important factor in genomic research. The objective of this study was to develop a simple and safe technique for dispersing the blood clots by the ball bearing metal shots. Normally, such clot samples may not have an acceptable yield by conventional DNA extraction methods. Also, in the present study, we have further investigated to improve salting-out DNA extraction methods.

methodsInitially, 500 µL phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (1×) and two ball bearing metal shots were added to each tube of the clotted blood sample and then were gently rotated in an electric laboratory rotator for 1 hour at room temperature (18-25°C). Genomic DNA was then extracted from samples using a modified salting-out method and a modified QIAamp

resultsThe yield and purity of DNA obtained by these three methods were significantly different (P < 0.001), with a higher yield in the modified salting-out method.

conclusionsOur proposed modified salting-out method is simple and efficient for the isolation of DNA from old blood clot samples. It is both easy to use and is of low cost in routine laboratory tasks.
