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 band extracted from a differential display polyacrylamide gel often represents a composite of heterogeneous products. We have developed a non- radioactive method to simply and rapidly analyse its complexity. A fluorescent restriction enzyme fingerprint of the composite mixture is generated. The number of individual bands observed in this fingerprint indicates the complexity of the re-amplified cDNA mixture. Restriction fingerprints of the inserts of cDNA subclones derived from the re-amplified cDNA mixture are compared to the composite fingerprint to select those representing the most intense bands in the composite. This dramatically reduces the number of clones required for further characterisation.
