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

Genetic screens are powerful tools to dissect complex biological processes, but a rate-limiting step is often the cloning of targeted genes. Here, we present a strategy, "mutagenomics," to identify causal mutations from a screen in a high throughput fashion in the absence of backcrossing. Mutagenomics is initiated by sequencing the genomes of the mutants identified, which are then subjected to a three-stage pipeline. The first stage identifies sequence changes in genes previously linked to the targeted pathway. The second stage uses heuristics derived from a simulation strategy to identify genes that are represented by multiple independent alleles more often than expected by chance. The third stage identifies candidate genes for the remaining lines by sequencing multiple lines of common descent. Our simulations indicate that sequencing as few as three to four sibling lines generally results in fewer than five candidate genes. We applied mutagenomics to a screen for Arabidopsis (
