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

To establish a simpler polymerase chain reaction (PCR) strategy for detecting sex chromosome-specific DNA sequences in cattle, we verified the feasibility of using hair-derived DNA as a PCR template. In the control steer, multiplex PCR using hair-derived DNA resulted in the amplification of two amplicons: one derived from the X chromosome-harboring 1.715 satellite DNA (365 bp) and another from the Y chromosome-harboring btDYZ-1 sequence (199 bp). In heterosexual twin females with XX/XY chimerism confirmed by chromosome analyses, multiplex PCR analyses with hair DNA determined both 365 and 199 bp amplicons in five of the six cases. In the remaining case, multiplex PCR analysis using hair DNA revealed the amplification of only the 365-bp product; however, using singleplex PCR, the 199-bp product was successfully amplified from hair DNA. The results of the present study suggest that sex chromosome-specific DNA sequences can be detected by PCR using bovine hair-derived DNA.
