Aphidicolin-inducible common fragile-site expression: results from a population survey of twins.
Article in American journal of human genetics, 1992. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Common chromosomal fragile sites appear to be ubiquitous in humans and other mammals, and, although the molecular basis and function of these sites remain an enigma, it has been speculated that they may be a cytogenetic expression of gene activity. A population survey of 28 twin pairs was conducted to assess the heritability of common fragile-site expression. Our data yielded a heritability estimate of .88 for total site expression, suggesting that these sites may result from some common process that is under relatively stringent genetic control. An analysis of the expression of individual autosomal sites revealed that expression on both homologues in the same cell occurred more frequently than expected.
