Chromosomal polymorphisms due to supernumerary chromosomes and pericentric inversions in the eyelidless microteiid lizard Nothobachia ablephara (Squamata, Gymnophthalmidae).
Article in Chromosome research : an international journal on the molecular, supramolecular and evolutionary aspects of chromosome biology, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
Cytogenetic studies were performed on eight specimens of the monotypic microteiid lizard Nothobachia ablephara, endemic of the sand dunes of the middle São Francisco river, in the semiarid caatinga, State of Bahia, Brazil. Chromosomes from fibroblast cultures were analysed after conventional, Ag-NOR staining, C-, and replication R- banding. A basic karyotype of 2n = 62, consisting mostly of subtelocentric and acrocentric chromosomes of decreasing size, was found in five specimens. Diploid number variation (2n = 63 and 2n = 64) occurred in two specimens due to the presence of one and two medium-sized subtelocentric supernumerary chromosomes (Bs). The Bs were not clearly distinguishable from the autosomes in Giemsa-stained metaphases and C-banding, but showed late replication after R-banding. Polymorphisms of pairs 1 and 5, observed in three different combinations, including acrocentrics, subtelocentrics, submetacentrics and metacentrics, were interpreted as the result of small pericentric inversions. Variation in the number of Ag-NORs was also reported. A chromosomal mechanism of sex determination of the XX:XY type is present in this species. Our data add more evidence to confirm the remarkable chromosomal variability that has been found in Gymnophthalmidae.
