Cloning and characterization of maize B chromosome sequences derived from microdissection.
Article in Genetics, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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
Isolation of sequences from the maize B chromosome is always hampered by its high homology with the normal complements. In this study, this handicap was overcome by cloning the sequences from the pachytene B chromosomes dissected out of a slide by a micromanipulator followed by degenerate oligonucleotide-primed PCR. The isolated sequences were found to hybridize with genomic DNA in a B-dosage-dependent manner and with the pachytene B chromosome by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), corroborating their B origin. A total of 19 B sequences were isolated, all of which are repetitive and, with one exception, are homologous to the A chromosome(s). Three sequences have strong homology to maize sequences that include two knob repeats and one zein gene (noncoding region), and 10 others are homologous to the noncoding region of Adh1, Bz1, Gag, Zein, and B centromere to a lesser degree. Six sequences have no homology to any gene. In addition to FISH, the B-specific sequence and a partially B-specific one were also mapped, by seven newly characterized TB-10L translocations, to a similar location on the central portion of the distal heterochromatic region, spreading over a region of about one-third of the B chromosome.
