Investigating Intraspecific Diversity of Metabolic Gene Clusters with MLPA and Synthetic Probes.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Multiplex Ligation-Dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA) is a robust method for efficient genotyping known structural variations, especially duplications and deletions, in a population scale. It allows for the simultaneous assessment of multiple regions in the genome in a single assay. This feature makes MLPA especially useful in the analysis of metabolic gene clusters (MGCs), where three or more neighboring genes need to be genotyped to decipher the overall MGC structural pattern. By enabling fast and cost-effective screening of a large number of individuals or lines, MLPA may measure MGC intraspecific variation or reveal new MGC member(s), e.g., resulting from gene duplication. This in turn may provide insight into the potential diversity of biosynthetic pathways encoded by a given MGC. Currently, however, custom synthetic probes are required to target non-human genes with MLPA. Here we describe the process of designing such synthetic probes detecting MGC genes and conducting MLPA assays. MLPA with synthetic probes may be applied for MGC analysis in various species including plants, animals, or fungi.
