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

Expression of specific genes at the level of mRNA can be studied using techniques such as Northern blot, slot/dot blot, RNase protection assay, in situ hybridisation and RT-PCR. In this article these methods of analysis are compared; RT-PCR offers higher levels of specificity and sensitivity than traditional methods of RNA analysis and as such has become the method of choice for the study of gene expression. The RT-PCR technique is described in detail with sections dealing with RNA extraction, choice of primers (including the use of cDNA sequence data bases), PCR and RT-PCR protocols in addition to the limitations of the method. The study of one particular mRNA transcript (MDR1) using RT-PCR is discussed in detail. Recently described methods for quantitation of PCR products are discussed. Quantitative PCR would appear to offer a method of studying gene expression in a more extensive way than has been possible to date.
