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

During meiosis, homologous chromosomes reciprocally exchange segments of DNA via the formation of crossovers. However, the frequency and position of crossover events along chromosomes are not random. Each chromosome must receive at least one crossover, and the formation of a crossover at one location inhibits the formation of additional crossovers nearby. These crossover patterning phenomena are referred to as "crossover assurance" and "crossover interference," respectively. One key method for quantifying meiotic crossover patterning is to immunocytologically measure the position and intensity of crossover-associated protein foci along the length of meiotic prophase I chromosomes. This approach was recently used to map the position of a conserved E3 ligase, HEI10, along Arabidopsis pachytene chromosomes, providing experimental support for a novel mechanistic "coarsening model" for crossover patterning. Here we describe a user-friendly method for automatically measuring the position and intensity of recombination-associated foci along meiotic prophase I chromosomes that is broadly applicable to studies in different eukaryotic species.
