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

The replication of eukaryotic chromosomes takes place throughout S phase, but little is known how this process is organized in space and time. Early and late replicating chromosomal domains appear to localize to distinct spatial compartments of the nucleus where DNA synthesis can take place at defined times during S phase. In general, transcriptionally active chromatin replicates early in S phase whereas transcriptionally inactive chromatin replicates later. Here we provide evidence for significant deviation from this dogma in mouse NIH3T3 cells. While the bulk pericentromeric heterochromatin replicates exclusively during mid to late S phase, centromeric DNA domains associated with constitutive kinetochore proteins are replicated throughout all stages of S phase. On an average, 12+/-4% of centromeres replicate in early S phase. Early replication of a subset of centromeres was also detected in living C2C12 murine cells. Thus, in contrast to expectation, late replication is not an obligatory feature of centromeric heterochromatin in murine cells and it does not determine their 'heterochromatic state'.
