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

Allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (amplification-refractory mutation system, ARMS) is one of the most commonly used methods for mutation detection. However, a main limitation of ARMS-PCR is the false positive results obtained due to nonspecific priming that can take place with wild-type (WT) DNA, which often precludes detection of low-level mutations. To improve the analytical specificity of ARMS, we present here a new technology, NAPA: NaME-PrO-assisted ARMS, that overcomes the ARMS deficiency by adding a brief enzymatic step that reduces wild-type alleles just prior to ARMS. We performed this technology for the simultaneous detection of two hot-spot PIK3CA mutations (E545 K and H1047R) in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cell free DNA (cfDNA). The developed protocol could simultaneously detect mutation-allelic-frequency of 0.5% for
