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

Human neocentromeres are fully functional centromeres that arise naturally in non-centromeric regions devoid of alpha-satellite DNA. We have successfully produced a series of minichromosomes by telomere-associated truncation of a marker chromosome mardel(10) containing a neocentromere. The resulting minichromosomes are either linear or circular in nature, and range in size from approximately 650 kb to 2 Mb. These minichromosomes exhibit full centromeric activity, bind to essential centromere proteins, and are mitotically stable over many generations. They provide a useful system for dissecting the functional domains of complex eukaryotic centromeres and as vectors for therapeutic gene delivery.
