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

DNA extraction from frozen blood clots is challenging. Here, the authors applied QIAGEN Clotspin Baskets and the Gentra Puregene Blood Kit for DNA extraction to cellular fraction of 5.5 ml whole blood without anticoagulating additives. The amount and quality of extracted DNA were assessed via spectrophotometer and gel electrophoresis. Results from array-based genotyping were analyzed. All steps were compared with DNA isolated from anticoagulated blood samples from a separate study. The quality and concentration of DNA extracted from clotted blood were comparable to those of DNA extracted from anticoagulated blood. DNA yield was on average 27 μg per ml clotted blood, with an average purity of 1.87 (A260/A280). Genotyping quality was similar for both DNA sources (call rate: 99.56% from clotted vs 99.49% from anticoagulated blood).
