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

Alleles at 12 Short Tandem Repeat loci have been sequenced to investigate candidate loci for a multiplex Short Tandem Repeat system for forensic identification, and for single-locus amplification of Short Tandem Repeat loci. Variation from the consensus sequence was found at 6 loci, while one locus, D21S11, was found to be complex in sequence. The presence of non-consensus alleles does not rule out loci for inclusion as forensic identification markers, but size differences between alleles of 1 base pair require very precise sizing. We suggest criteria for the suitability of Short Tandem Repeat loci as forensic identification markers, and propose a universal allele nomenclature for simple and compound Short Tandem Repeats. The effect of the repeat unit sequence of the evolution of Short Tandem Repeats is discussed.
