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

Precise quantification of human cells in preclinical animal models by a sensitive and specific approach is warranted. The probe-based quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay as a sensitive and swift approach is suitable for the quantification of human cells by targeting human-specific DNA sequences. In this study, we developed an efficient qPCR assay targeting human-specific DNA in ST6GALNAC3 (termed ST6GAL-qPCR) for the quantification of human cells in preclinical animal models. ST6GAL-qPCR probe was synthesized with FAM and non-fluorescent quencher-minor groove binder conjugated to the 5' and 3' end of the probe, respectively. Genomic DNA from human, rhesus monkeys, cynomolgus monkeys, New Zealand White rabbits, SD rats, C57BL/6, and BALB/c mice were utilized for analyzing the specificity and sensitivity of the ST6GAL-qPCR assay. The ST6GAL-qPCR assay targeted human-specific DNA was cloned to pUCM-T vector and released by EcoR I/Hind III digestion for generating a calibration curve. Cell mixing experiment was performed to validate the ST6GAL-qPCR assay by analysis of 0.1%, 0.01%, and 0.001% of human leukocytes mixed with murine thymocytes. The ST6GAL-qPCR assay detected human DNA rather than DNA from the tested animal species. The amplification efficiency of the ST6GAL-qPCR assay was 93% and the linearity of calibration curve was R
