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

Centromeres are crucial for chromosome segregation, but their underlying sequences evolve rapidly, imposing strong selection for compensatory changes in centromere-associated kinetochore proteins to assure the stability of genome transmission. While this co-evolution is well documented between species, it remains unknown whether population-level centromere diversity leads to functional differences in kinetochore protein association. Mice (Mus musculus) exhibit remarkable variation in centromere size and sequence, but the amino acid sequence of the kinetochore protein CENP-A is conserved. Here, we apply k-mer-based analyses to CENP-A chromatin profiling data from diverse inbred mouse strains to investigate the interplay between centromere variation and kinetochore protein sequence association. We show that centromere sequence diversity is associated with strain-level differences in both CENP-A positioning and sequence preference along the mouse core centromere satellite. Our findings reveal intraspecies sequence-dependent differences in CENP-A/centromere association and open additional perspectives for understanding centromere-mediated variation in genome stability.
