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

Partial digestion of DNA fragments is a standard procedure for subcloning analysis and for generating restriction maps. We have developed a novel method to generate a partial digestion for any DNA fragment that can be amplified by PCR. The method involves the incorporation of 5-methyl-dCTP into the PCR product to protect most of the restriction sites. As a result, complete digestion of the modified PCR products with a 5-methyl-dCTP-sensitive enzyme will produce an array of restriction fragments equivalent to a partial restriction enzyme digestion reaction done on unmethylated PCR products. This method reduces the time and material needed to produce partially-digested DNA fragments by traditional methods. Furthermore, using fluorescein-labeled primers in the reaction, we were able to detect the fluorescein-labeled end fragments resulting from the enzyme digestion using a fluorimager or anti-fluorescein-AP antibody and thus determine the restriction maps.
