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

Nematodes are an attractive group of organisms for studying the evolution of developmental processes. Pristionchus pacificus was established as a satellite organism for comparing vulva development and other processes to Caenorhabditis elegans. The generation of a genetic linkage map of P.pacificus has provided a first insight into the structure and organization of the genome of this species. Pristionchus pacificus and C.elegans are separated from one another by >100 000 000 years such that the structure of the genomes of these two nematodes might differ substantially. To evaluate the amount of synteny between the two genomes, we have obtained 126 kb of continuous genomic sequence of P.pacificus, flanking the developmental patterning gene pal-1. Of the 20 predicted open reading frames in this interval, 11 have C.elegans orthologs. Ten of these 11 orthologs are located on C.elegans chromosome III, indicating the existence of synteny. However, most of these genes are distributed over a 12 Mb interval of the C.elegans genome and only three pairs of genes show microsynteny. Thus, intrachromosomal rearrange ments occur frequently in nematodes, limiting the likelihood of identifying orthologous genes of P.pacificus and C.elegans based on positional information within the two genomes.
