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

The design and construction of large synthetic genes can be a slow, difficult, and confusing process, especially in the key step of oligodeoxynucleotide design. Herein we present an integrated algorithm to design oligonucleotide sets for gene synthesis by both ligase chain reaction and polymerase chain reaction. It offers much flexibility with no constraints on the gene to be synthesized. Firstly, it divides the long-input DNA sequence by a greedy algorithm based on the length of the oligodeoxynucleotide overlap region. Secondly, it tunes the length of the overlap region iteratively in an attempt to minimize the melting temperature variance of overlap. Thirdly, dynamic programming algorithm is used to achieve the uniform melting temperature of the oligodeoxynucleotide overlaps. Finally, the oligodeoxynucleotides with homologous melting temperature necessary for ligase chain reaction-based or two-step assembly PCR-based synthesis of the desired gene are outputted.
