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

Positional cloning often requires isolation of candidate genes from a large, genetically defined region. Hybrid selection (direct cDNA selection, solution hybrid capture) is a rapid, simple procedure that has been used to identify expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from cloned genomic DNA. We used hybrid selection to screen a 600-kb region that includes the BRCA1 gene. From a set of 931 sequenced clones, we obtained 118 nonoverlapping candidate ESTs from ovary and lymphocyte cDNA. We analyzed the results of our hybrid selection experiments with particular attention to the overall completeness, efficiency, and background noise of the experiment. We introduce simple parameters that serve as measures of important aspects of the hybrid selection process in the context of positional cloning.
