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

backgroundThe Investigator Argus Y-28 QS Kit is a 27-locus, six-dye multiplex, which includes six rapidly mutating Short Tandem Repeats (RM Y-STRs).

methodsA new text file containing the optimized panel and bin sets for GeneMapper ID-X Software v1.6 has been prepared. In addition, an internal validation study was conducted on the Investigator Argus Y-28 QS kit using the SeqStudio™ Genetic Analyzer for HID.

resultsThe full results of that study are presented here, including data on precision, sensitivity, reproducibility, stutter determination, and reduction volume analysis. A concordance study and three case reports are documented. Finally, the kit was successfully used to conduct a proficiency test.

conclusionsThe obtained findings achieved a satisfactory performance of the Investigator Argus Y-28 QS Kit on the SeqStudio™ Genetic Analyzer for HID.
