hi, does "carded out" mean "conducted" or "put forth" in the following sentence?

"One well-publicized study, which took place in 1993, was carded out by Dean Hamer. This study focused on the DNA and on specific markers in one region of the X-chromosome."

Thanks!

Do you mean "carried out"?:  "One well-publicized study, which took place in 1993, was carried out by Dean Hamer. This study focused on the DNA and on specific markers in one region of the X-chrom.

It means 'conducted'

I think so.Only carried out can make sense.

It must be typo!

See slang for "card in":

but "card out"?

All examples I've found with "carded out" were clearly typos from "carried out." There!Smile [:)]
