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

A maize line, knobless Tama flint (KTF), was found to contain a version of chromosome 8 with two spatially distinct regions of centromeric elements, one at the original genetic position and the other at a novel location on the long arm. The new site of centromeric elements functions as the kinetochore-forming region resulting in a change of arm length ratio. Examination of fluorescence in situ hybridization markers on chromosome 8 revealed an inversion between the two centromere sites relative to standard maize lines, indicating that this chromosome 8 resulted from a hemicentric inversion with one breakpoint approximately 20 centi-McClintocks (cMc) on the long arm (20% of the total arm length from the centromere) and the other in the original cluster of centromere repeats. This inversion moved the kinetochore-forming region but left the remainder of the centromere repeats. In a hybrid between a standard line (Mo17) and KTF, both chromosome 8 homologues were completely synapsed at pachytene despite the inversion. Although the homologous centromeres were not paired, they were always correctly oriented at anaphase and migrated to opposite poles. Additionally, recombination on 8L was severely repressed in the hybrid.
