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

Mature Xenopus laevis eggs provide an elementary reaction system of illegitimate recombination which efficiently joins nonhomologous DNA ends (P. Pfeiffer and W. Vielmetter, Nucleic Acids Res. 16:907-924, 1988). Here we show that stage VI oocytes, known to express a system for homologous recombination (D. Carroll, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 80:6902-6906, 1983), are completely devoid of this joining system. Nonhomologous DNA end-to-end joining, however, attains full activity only at an extremely late stage of egg maturation. Cycloheximide inhibition patterns indicate that nonhomologous joining activity is regulated at the G2 restriction point of the cell cycle. Implications of homologous and nonhomologous recombination activities during egg maturation are discussed.
