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

Direct DNA analysis of the fragile X mutation has become available with the isolation of DNA probes that detect the unstable DNA sequence containing the CGG repeat. We present the various alternatives of combinations of probes and enzymes that can be used for the diagnosis of fragile X syndrome. An overview is given of all the different available probes. A different protocol is presented for postnatal and prenatal diagnosis of fragile X syndrome. This includes Southern blot analysis as well as direct analysis of the CGG repeat by PCR amplification. We discuss the role of constitutional cytogenetic analysis in the diagnosis of mentally retarded subjects and cytogenetic analysis for the diagnosis of fragile X syndrome.
