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

One can manually isolate the giant oocyte nucleus or germinal vesicle (GV) of Xenopus from a living oocyte with nothing more complicated than jewelers' forceps and a dissecting microscope. Similarly, one can remove the nuclear envelope by hand and allow the lampbrush chromosomes and other nuclear organelles to spread on a microscope slide. After centrifugation, the nuclear contents adhere tightly to the slide, where they can be subjected to immunostaining or fluorescent in situ hybridization for visualization by conventional or confocal microscopy. Preparations of isolated GV contents reveal details of nuclear structure that are almost impossible to attain by more conventional techniques.
