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

Transmission ratio distortion (TRD) and sterility are male-specific quantitative trait phenomena associated with the mouse t haplotype. TRD occurs in t haplotype-heterozygous males and is caused by the deleterious action of distorter products on sperm bearing a wild-type responder locus. It has been proposed that t-mediated male sterility is a severe manifestation of TRD caused by homozygosity for distorter loci; thus, the distorter and sterility loci would be identical. In this, study a transgenic approach was used to identify the proximal sterility locus, tcs1 (S1), and test its role in TRD. Mice transgenic for a wild-type bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) derived from the S1-critical region were bred onto t haplotype backgrounds. Mating results conclusively showed that the BAC is sufficient to restore fertility in otherwise sterile males. Multiple mutations were identified in the t alleles of Synj2 and Serac1, two genes in the BAC; thus, they are candidates for S1. In addition, whereas the BAC transgene rescued sterility, it had no effect on TRD. These results uncouple the proximal t haplotype sterility locus, S1, from TRD, demonstrating that S1 and the proximal distorter locus, D1, are not the same gene.
