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

We present a high-resolution bacterial contig map of 3.4 Mb of genomic DNA in human chromosome 21q11-q21, encompassing the region of elevated disomic homozygosity in Down Syndrome-associated abnormal myelopoiesis and leukemia, as well as the markers, which has shown a strong association with Alzheimer's Disease that has never been explained. The map contains 89 overlapping PACs, BACs, or cosmids in three contigs (850, 850, and 1500 kb) with two gaps (one of 140-210 kb and the second <5 kb). To date, eight transcribed sequences derived by cDNA selection, exon trapping, and/or global EST sequencing have been positioned onto the map, and the only two genes so far mapped to this cytogenetic region, STCH and RIP140 have been precisely localized. This work converts a further 10% of chromosome 21q into a high-resolution bacterial contig map, which will be the physical basis for the long-range sequencing of this region. The map will also enable positional derivation of new transcribed sequences, as well as new polymorphic probes, that will help in elucidation of the role the genes in this region may play in abnormal myelopoiesis and leukemia associated with trisomy 21 and Alzheimer's Disease.
