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 number of human telomeres have been successfully cloned using a modified yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) vector (half-YAC) cloning strategy, but to date, human chromosome 22q has not been identified by this approach. We used an alternative approach of genomic walking, starting from a subtelomeric sequence, Tel-Bam3.4. present on a number of human chromosomes including 22q. This approach was successful in the development of a cosmid contig representing the terminal 140 kb of human chromosome 22q, providing telomeric closure of the genetic and physical maps for 22q. The most distal region of the contig contains subtelomeric repeats which crosshybridize to a number of chromosomes, while the proximal sequences are unique for 22q. The unique sequence cosmid was used as a 22qter-specific probe for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis, which confirmed that this cosmid was distal to the most telomeric marker previously available for chromosome 22. In addition, this cosmid was used to document a 22q terminal deletion that was not detectable by conventional cytogenetic analysis. Unique telomere-specific FISH probes such as this one will have significant diagnostic value in the detection of cryptic deletions and translocations in patients with unexplained mental retardation and other patient populations.
