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

We report a rapid and accurate quantitative detection method using droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) technology to identify cassava adulteration in starch products. The ddPCR analysis showed that the weight of cassava (M) and cassava-extracted DNA content had a significant linear relationship-the correlation coefficient was R2 = 0.995, and the maximum coefficient of variation of replicates was 7.48%. The DNA content and DNA copy number (C) measured by ddPCR also had a linear relationship with R2 = 0.992; the maximum coefficient of variation of replicates was 8.85%. The range of cassava ddPCR DNA content was 25 ng/μL, and the formula M = (C + 32.409)/350.579 was obtained by converting DNA content into the median signal. The accuracy and application potential of the method were verified using the constructed adulteration model.
