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

Microsatellites are a tract of repetitive, short DNA motifs (usually 1 to 6 bp) abundant in eukaryotic genomes. They are robust molecular markers in many areas of studies. Development of microsatellite markers usually involves three steps: (1) obtaining microsatellite-containing sequences, (2) primer design, and (3) screening microsatellite loci for polymorphism. The first and third steps require considerable resources. Next generation sequencing technologies have greatly alleviated the constraint of the first step. In this study, we leveraged the availability of genome assemblies of multiple individuals in many species and designed a comparative genomics approach to bioinformatically identify polymorphic loci. Our approach can eliminate or greatly reduce the need of experimental screening for polymorphism and ensure that the flanking regions do not have length difference that would confound interpretation of genotyping results using microsatellite markers. We applied this approach on Phytophthora sojae, a soybean pathogen, and identified 157 high-quality, informative microsatellite markers in this oomycete. Experimental validation of 20 loci supported bioinformatics predictions. Our approach can be readily applied to other organisms of which the genomes of multiple individuals have been sequenced.
