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

Centromeres are required for faithful segregation of chromosomes in cell division. It is not clear how centromere sites are specified on chromosomes in vertebrates. We have previously introduced a mini-chromosome, named ST1, into a variety of cell lines including human HT1080, mouse LA9 and chicken DT40. This mini-chromosome, segregating faithfully in these cells, contains mouse minor and major, and human Y alpha-satellite DNA repeats. In this study, after determining the organisation of the satellite repeats, we investigated the location of the centromere on the mini-chromosome by combined immunocytochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridisation analysis. Centromeric proteins were consistently co-localised with the minor satellite repeats in all three cell lines. When chromatin fibres were highly stretched, centromeric proteins were only seen on a small portion of the minor satellite repeats. These results indicate that a fraction of the minor satellite repeats is competent in centromere function not only in mouse but also in human and chicken cells.
