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

This review describes the application of peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) as clamps that prevent nucleic acid amplification of wild-type DNA so that DNA with mutations may be observed. These methods are useful to detect single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in cases where there is a small amount of mutated DNA relative to the amount of normal (unmutated/wild-type) DNA. Detecting SNPs arising from mutated DNA can be useful to diagnose various genetic diseases, and is especially important in cancer diagnostics for early detection, proper diagnosis, and monitoring of disease progression. Most examples use PNA clamps to inhibit PCR amplification of wild-type DNA to identify the presence of mutated DNA associated with various types of cancer.
