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

Relative quantification of gene expression is a fundamental method used in the molecular biology field to analyse real-time PCR data to determine transcriptional differences between groups of samples (or technical replicates of a single sample). The main methods used for relative quantification of gene expression are delta Ct methods that allow to compare means of gene expression between groups of samples without preparing a standard curve. Despite the availability of several tools for delta Ct methods, it is difficult to select the best one that would be characterized by sufficient flexibility and comprehensive functionality. Therefore, we developed the RQdeltaCT R package, which was designed to analyse real-time PCR data for the relative quantification of gene expression using delta Ct methods (including 2
