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

Background: Multiplex PCR amplifies numerous targets in a single tube reaction and is essential in molecular biology and clinical diagnostics. One of its most important applications is in the targeted sequencing of pathogens. Despite this importance, few tools are available for designing multiplex primers. Results: We developed primerJinn, a tool that designs a set of multiplex primers and allows for the in silico PCR evaluation of primer sets against numerous input genomes. We used primerJinn to create a multiplex PCR for the sequencing of drug resistance-conferring gene regions from Conclusions: primerJinn provides a user-friendly, efficient, and accurate method for designing multiplex PCR primers and performing in silico PCR. It can be used for various applications in molecular biology and bioinformatics research, including the design of assays for amplifying and sequencing drug-resistance-conferring regions in important pathogens.
