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

Most organisms form protein-rich, linear, ladder-like structures associated with chromosomes during early meiosis, the synaptonemal complex. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, linear elements (LinEs) are thread-like, proteinacious chromosome-associated structures that form during early meiosis. LinEs are related to axial elements, the synaptonemal complex precursors of other organisms. Previous studies have led to the suggestion that axial structures are essential to mediate meiotic recombination. Rec10 protein is a major component of S. pombe LinEs and is required for their development. In this report we study recombination in a number of rec10 mutants, one of which (rec10-155) does not form LinEs, but is predicted to encode a truncated Rec10 protein. This mutant has levels of crossing over and gene conversion substantially higher than a rec10 null mutant (rec10-175) and forms cytologically detectable Rad51 foci indicative of meiotic recombination intermediates. These data demonstrate that while Rec10 is required for meiotic recombination, substantial meiotic recombination can occur in rec10 mutants that do not form LinEs, indicating that LinEs per se are not essential for all meiotic recombination.
