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 novel method for direct capture of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA from clinical samples has been developed. This approach takes advantage of the cooperative interactions between adjacently hybridized oligonucleotides. Here, this cooperative effect was combined with solid-phase technology, whereby a capture probe was covalently coupled to magnetic beads and a second probe, which anneals adjacent to the capture probe site, was prehybridized in solution to the target. When these contiguously hybridized probes were used for the extraction of HCV RNA from clinical samples, the capture efficiency was increased up to 25-fold in comparison to capture with a single probe. The applicability of this sample preparation assay was further investigated by performing a comparative study with both a conventional guanidinium extraction method and a commercial quantitative assay.
