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

Avian genome organisation is characterised, in part, by a set of microchromosomes that are unusually small in size and unusually large in number. Although containing about a quarter of the genome, they contain around half the genes and three quarters of the total chromosome number. Nonetheless, they continue to belie analysis by cytogenetic means. Chromosomal rearrangements play a key role in genome evolution, fertility and genetic disease and thus tools for analysis of the microchromosomes are essential to analyse such phenomena in birds. Here, we report the development of chicken microchromosomal paint pools, generation of pairs of specific microchromosome BAC clones in chicken, and computational tools for in silico comparison of the genomes of microchromosomes. We demonstrate the use of these molecular and computational tools across species, suggesting their use to generate a clear picture of microchromosomal rearrangements between avian species. With increasing numbers of avian genome sequences that are emerging, tools such as these will find great utility in assembling genomes de novo and for asking fundamental questions about genome evolution from a chromosomal perspective.
