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

We used multicolour fluorescence in-situ hybridization on air-dried pachytene nuclei to analyse the structural and functional domains of the sex vesicle (SV) in human, chimpanzee and mouse. The same technology associated with 3-dimensional analysis was then performed on human and mouse pachytene nuclei from cytospin preparations and tissue cryosections. The human and the chimpanzee SVs were very similar, with a consistently small size and a high degree of condensation. The mouse SV was most often seen to be large and poorly condensed, although it did undergo progressive condensation during pachynema. These results suggest that the condensation of the sex chromosomes is not a prerequisite for the formation of the mouse SV, and that a different specific mechanism could be responsible for its formation. We also found that the X and Y chromosomes are organized into two separate and non-entangled chromatin domains in the SV of the three species. In each species, telomeres of the X and Y chromosomes remain clustered in a small area of the SV, even those without a pseudoautosomal region. The possible mechanisms involved in the organization of the sex chromosomes and in SV formation are discussed.
