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

The probability with which different regions of a genome come in contact with one another is a question of general interest. The current study addresses this subject for vegetatively growing diploid cells of fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe by application of the Cre/loxP site-specific recombination assay. High levels of allelic interactions imply a tendency for chromosomes to be colocalized along their lengths. Significant homology-dependent pairing at telomere proximal loci and robust nonspecific clustering of centromeres appear to be the primary determinants of this feature. Preference for direct homolog-directed interactions at interstitial chromosomal regions was ambiguous, perhaps as a consequence of chromosome flexibility and the constraints and dynamic nature of the nucleus. Additional features of the data provide evidence for chromosome territories and reveal an intriguing phenomenon in which interaction frequencies are favored for nonhomologous loci that are located at corresponding relative (rather than absolute) positions within their respective chromosome arms. The latter feature, and others, can be understood as manifestations of transient, variable, and/or occasional nonspecific telomeric associations. We discuss the factors whose interplay sets the probabilities of chromosomal interactions in this organism and implications of the inferred organization for ectopic recombination.
