Independently regulated neocentromere activity of two classes of tandem repeat arrays.
Article in The Plant cell, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 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
Tandem repeat arrays often are found in interstitial (i.e., normally gene-rich) regions on chromosomes. In maize, genes on abnormal chromosome 10 induce the tandem repeats that make up knobs to move poleward on the meiotic spindle. This so-called neocentromere activity results in the preferential recovery, or meiotic drive, of the knobs in progeny. Here we show that two classes of repeats differ in their capacity to form neocentromeres and that their motility is controlled in trans by at least two repeat-specific activators. Microtubule dynamics appear to contribute little to the movement of neocentromeres (they are active in the presence of taxol), suggesting that the mechanism of motility involves microtubule-based motors. These data suggest that maize knob repeats and their binding proteins have coevolved to ensure their preferential recovery in progeny. Neocentromere-mediated drive provides a plausible mechanism for the evolution and maintenance of repeat arrays that occur in interstitial positions.
