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

Affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies were used to quantitate steady-state levels of DNA topoisomerase II (topo II) throughout Drosophila development. Although wide fluctuations were recorded at different stages, these fluctuations were paralleled by changes in levels of the nuclear lamin, a nuclear structural protein used as an internal standard. The exception to this was adult males where lamin levels were significantly elevated relative to topo II. Northern blot analyses of topo II and lamin mRNA, performed in conjunction with immunoblot analyses of protein revealed fluctuations in levels of the two different messages that paralleled changes in each other and in their respective translation products. Biochemical and immunochemical analyses were complemented by indirect immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase experiments performed in situ. topo II was found distributed throughout nuclei in most but not all cell types examined. These results for Drosophila topo II are apparently at odds with those obtained by others working in vertebrate systems (see, for example, Heck, M. M. S. and W. C. Earnshaw. 1986. J. Cell Biol. 103:2569-2581; Heck, M. M. S., W. N. Hittelman, and W. C. Earnshaw. 1988. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 85:1086-1090) and suggest that in Drosophila, topo II may not be a useful marker for the proliferative state.
