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

A systematic study of 42 Greek DMD/BMD families using 14 polymorphic markers that span the dystrophin gene was performed in order to assess the position and frequency of recombinants in the Greek population and to test whether "hot spots" of recombination and deletions coincide when exclusively studying DMD/BMD families. We report a low percentage of recombination between markers STR44 and STR50; otherwise, the distribution of recombination events in other parts of the gene is largely in agreement with previously published data on Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humaine families. We therefore propose that recombination frequencies and the correlation between recombination and deletion "hot spots" should be evaluated on DMD/BMD families exclusively.
