A satellite-like sequence, representing a "clone gap" in the human genome, was likely involved in the seeding of a novel centromere in macaque.
Article in Chromosoma, 2009. 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
Although the human genome sequence is generally considered "finished", the latest assembly (NCBI Build 36.1) still presents a number of gaps. Some of them are defined as "clone gaps" because they separate neighboring contigs. Evolutionary new centromeres are centromeres that repositioned along the chromosome, without marker order variation, during evolution. We have found that one human "clone gap" at 18q21.2 corresponds to an evolutionary new centromere in Old World Monkeys (OWM). The partially sequenced gap revealed a satellite-like structure. DNA stretches of the same satellite were found in the macaque (flanking the chromosome 18 centromere) and in the marmoset (New World Monkey), which was used as an outgroup. These findings strongly suggested that the repeat was present at the time of novel centromere seeding in OWM ancestor. We have provided, therefore, the first instance of a specific sequence hypothesized to have played a role in triggering the emergence of an evolutionary new centromere.
