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

Microsatellite markers analyzed by capillary sequencing remain useful tools for rapid genotyping and low-cost studies. This contrasts with the lack of a free application to analyze chromatograms for microsatellite genotyping that is not restricted to human genotyping. To fill this gap, I have developed STRyper, a macOS application whose source code is published under the General Public License. STRyper only uses macOS libraries, making it very lightweight, responsive, and behaving like a modern application. Its three-pane window enables easy management and viewing of chromatograms imported from FSA and HID files, the creation of size standards and of microsatellite marker panels (including bins). STRyper features powerful search capabilities (with smart folders) and a modern graphical user interface allowing, among others, the manual correction of DNA ladders and of individual genotypes by drag-and-drop. It also introduces a new way to mitigate the effect of variations in electrophoretic conditions on estimated allele sizes.
