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

Three nonsynonymous single nucleotide variations (SNVs), rs1042602 in TYR (p.S192Y), rs1426654 in SLC24A5 (p.A111T), and rs16891982 in SLC45A2 (p.L374F), were associated with human skin pigmentation variation and may have recently undergone positive natural selection. Furthermore, these three SNVs have been reported to correlate with the risk and prognosis of melanoma. To simultaneously determine these three SNVs, a triplex fluorescent probe-based melting curve assay (FMCA) was developed. The method was validated by analyzing genomic DNA from subjects with known genotypes. For rs16891982, triplex FMCA did not allow good separation of genotypes with the initial polymerase enzyme mix used, but by changing the enzyme mix used, the three genotypes could be clearly distinguished. Using this method, we definitively genotyped these three SNVs in 93 European, 58 Tamil, 54 Sinhalese, and 52 Bangladeshi subjects. This method allows genotyping of rs1042602, rs1426654, and rs16891982 in a relatively large number of samples to perform association studies on skin pigmentation variation or melanoma risk.
