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

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis using Sanger sequencing has been a routine practice for the identification of human skeletal remains. However, this process is usually challenging since DNA from the remains is highly degraded and at low concentration. Recently, the advent and implementation of massively parallel sequencing (MPS) have been offered the ability to improve mtDNA sequence data for forensic analysis. To assess the utility of the Ion S5™ system - an MPS platform for mtDNA analysis in challenging samples, we sequenced the mitochondrial control region of 52 age-old skeletal remains. Using the Precision ID mtDNA Control Region Panel, 50 full and two partial control region haplotypes at relatively high mean coverage of 2494 × were achieved for variant calling. Further variant analysis at 10% threshold for point heteroplasmy showed high degradation degree in terms of DNA damage in our bone samples. A higher point heteroplasmy threshold of 20% was required to diminish most of background noise caused by the damage. The results from this study indicated the potential application of the Ion S5™ system in sequencing degraded samples in Vietnam and provided valuable data sources for forensic analyses in the future.
