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

Recent advances in molecular biology have enabled the association of epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) with point mutations of keratin 14 and/or keratin 5 genes to be established. We describe here the detection of point mutations in genomic DNA from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded sections from five cases of epidermolysis bullosa using the PCR amplification of specific alleles (PASA) method. In two of four cases of Köbner-type EBS a point mutation of helix 2b (384 Leu-Pro) was detected and in one case of Dowling-Meara-type EBS a mutation in helix 1a (125 Arg-Cys) was detected. The results of this study are consistent with previous reports and they demonstrate that the PASA method is a rapid and reproducible method for the detection of single-base changes and small deletions.
