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

After two generations of backcrossing six different Y-consomic strains onto a C57BL/6J inbred mouse strain with a dominant hemimelia (Dh) mutation, a small percentage of Dh/+ males containing a Y chromosome from the AKR/J or RF/J strain showed hermaphrodism; they lacked the right testis and had an ovary and a uterus instead. Approximately 15% of Dh/+ females considered to be phenotypically normal had the Sry gene from the AKR/J or RF/J strain; they were actually sex-reversed XY females. Backcrossing of Y chromosomes from BALB/cA, C3H/HeJ, C57BL/6J, DH/Sgn, and DDD/Sgn onto the C57BL/6J strain with Dh did not result in hermaphrodism or sex reversal in adult mice. Subsequent linkage mapping analysis revealed that at least one C57BL/6J-derived homozygous allele at a locus on chromosome 13 was required for hermaphrodism and sex reversal. This condition was genetically distinct from known inherited sex-reversal conditions. It therefore offers a novel opportunity to investigate the genetic basis of sex determination in mammals.
