Tetrahymena micronuclear genome mapping. a high-resolution meiotic map of chromosome 1l.
Article in Genetics, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila is a useful model organism that combines diverse experimental advantages with powerful capabilities for genetic manipulation. The genetics of Tetrahymena are especially rich among eukaryotic cells, because it possesses two distinct but related nuclear genomes within one cytoplasm, contained separately in the micronucleus (MIC) and the macronucleus (MAC). In an effort to advance fulfillment of Tetrahymena's potential as a genetic system, we are mapping both genomes and investigating the correspondence between them. With the latter goal especially in mind, we report here a high-resolution meiotic linkage map of the left arm of chromosome 1, one of Tetrahymena's five chromosomes. The map consists of 40 markers, with an average spacing of 2.3 cM in the Haldane function and a total length of 88.6 cM. This study represents the first mapping of any large region of the Tetrahymena genome that has been done at this level of detail. Results of a parallel mapping effort in the macronucleus, and the correspondence between the two genomes, can be found in this issue as a companion to this article.
