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

We combine data from published marker genotyping of three sets of S. latifolia Y chromosome deletion mutants with changed sex phenotypes and add genotypes for several new genic markers to refine the deletion map of the Y chromosome and compare it with the X chromosome genetic map. We conclude that the Y chromosome of this species has been derived through multiple rearrangements of the ancestral gene arrangement and that none of the rearrangements so far detected was involved in stopping X-Y recombination. Different Y genotypes may also differ in their gene content and possibly arrangements, suggesting that mapping the Y-linked sex-determining genes will be difficult, even if many further genic markers are obtained. Even in determining the map of Y chromosome markers to discover all the rearrangements, physical mapping by FISH or other experiments will be essential. Future deletion mapping work should ensure that markers are studied in the parents of deletion mutants and should probably include additional deletions that were not ascertained by causing mutant sex phenotypes.
