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

backgroundAnalyses of the replication timing at 22q11.2 were prompted by our finding of a statistically significant bias in the origin of the regions flanking the deletion site in patients with 22q11.2 deletions, the proximal region being in the majority of cases of grandmaternal origin. We hypothesised that asynchronous replication may be involved in the formation of the 22q11.2 deletion, the most frequently occurring interstitial deletion in humans, by favouring the mispairing of low-copy repeats.

methodsReplication timing during S phase at 22q11.2 was investigated by fluorescent in situ hybridisation on interphase nuclei. We report on the detection of non-random asynchronous replication at the human chromosome region 22q11.2, an autosomal locus believed not to contain imprinted genes.

resultsAsynchronous replication at 22q11.2 was observed without exception in all 20 tested individuals; these comprised individuals with structurally normal chromosomes 22 (10 cases), individuals with translocations involving the locus 22q11.2 (eight cases), and patients with a 22q11.2 deletion (two cases). The non-random nature of the asynchronous replication was observed in all individuals for whom the chromosomes 22 were distinguishable. The earlier replicating allele was found to be of paternal origin in all cases where the parental origin of the translocation or deletion was known.
