Nucleolar dominance: uniparental gene silencing on a multi-megabase scale in genetic hybrids.
Review in Plant molecular biology, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 47 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
Nucleolar dominance is a phenomenon in hybrids or allopolyploids in which nucleoli form on chromosomes inherited from only one of the two parents. The molecular basis for nucleolar dominance is the transcription by RNA polymerase I of only one parental set of ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA genes). These rRNA genes are clustered by the hundreds, or thousands, of copies, often spanning tens of millions of basepairs of chromosomal DNA at loci known as nucleolus organizer regions (NORs). Enforcement of nucleolar dominance appears to be accomplished by selectively silencing one set of rRNA genes via chemical modifications of chromatin. However, the mechanisms responsible for initially discriminating among the parental sets of rRNA genes and establishing nucleolar dominance remain unclear. Possibilities include mechanisms that act on each rRNA gene or mechanisms that affect whole NORs or even larger chromosomal domains. This review provides a historical perspective of nucleolar dominance research, explores the most popular hypotheses and their shortcomings, and offers some speculations concerning alternative hypotheses to be considered.
