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 have developed a simple and highly efficient method to detect deletions and insertions in the p53 gene. All 11 exons of the p53 gene were amplified along with a control sequence in four multiplex PCR reactions in the presence of fluorescein-labeled primers. The PCR products were resolved on an automated sequencing gel and the DNA fragments were detected by fluorescence. Using this method, we screened 7 DNA specimens from ovarian tumors, 19 from breast tumors, and 26 from normal breast tissues. No abnormality was found in any of the DNA samples extracted from the normal tissues. A 19 base pair deletion in exon 5 of the p53 gene was detected in one ovarian tumor. Insertions were identified in two breast and two ovarian tumors. The insertions were identical in 3 of these tumors and consisted of a 16 bp repeat within intron 3 of the p53 gene. It appears that the insertion within intron 3 may represent a hot spot for duplication of the normal sequence at that site.
