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

Proteins of sister chromatid cohesion are important for maintenance of meiotic chromosome structure and retention of homologous chromosomes in bivalents during diplotene. Localization of the cohesion proteins within nuclei of growing oocytes merits special attention, particularly in avian oocytes, in which diplotene chromosomes assume the form of lampbrush chromosomes (LBCs). We performed indirect immunostaining using antibodies against cohesins SMC1alpha, SMC1beta, SMC3, Rad21, and the SA/STAG family on chaffinch, pigeon and duck LBCs spreads, and frozen ovary sections. On LBCs spreads, antibodies to the majority of cohesins showed punctate staining on chromosome axes. LBC lateral loops, where sister chromatids are separated, did not show cohesin components. The spherical entities attached to the LBCs centromeres in avian germinal vesicles, the so-called protein bodies (PBs), were enriched in SMC1alpha, SMC3, Rad21, STAG1 and STAG2. The synaptonemal complex component SYCP3, which also participates in cohesion, was detected in the axes of avian lampbrush bivalents and, to a greater degree, in the PBs. In vitellogenic oocytes, cohesion proteins persist in the PBs associated with condensing bivalents when they concentrate into the karyosphere. These results indicate that cohesion proteins accumulate in centromere PBs in avian oocytes and are involved into structural maintenance of lampbrush chromosome axes.
