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

Impaired mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) maintenance, due to, e.g., defects in the replication machinery or an insufficient dNTP supply, underlies a number of mitochondrial disorders. The normal process of mtDNA replication leads to the incorporation of multiple single ribonucleotides (rNMPs) per mtDNA molecule. Given that embedded rNMPs alter the stability and properties of the DNA, they may have consequences for mtDNA maintenance and thereby for mitochondrial disease. They also serve as a readout of the intramitochondrial NTP/dNTP ratios. In this chapter, we describe a method for the determination of mtDNA rNMP content using alkaline gel electrophoresis and Southern blotting. This procedure is suited for the analysis of mtDNA in total genomic DNA preparations as well as in purified form. Moreover, it can be performed using equipment found in most biomedical laboratories, allows the simultaneous analysis of 10-20 samples depending on the gel system employed, and can be modified for the analysis of other mtDNA modifications.
