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

A panel of 15 carefully selected microsatellites (short tandem repeats, STRs) has allowed us to study segregation and haplotype stability in various macaque species. The STRs span the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region and map in more detail from the centromeric part of the Mhc-A to the DR region. Two large panels of Indian rhesus and Indonesian/Indochinese cynomolgus macaques have been subjected to pedigree analysis, allowing the definition of 161 and 36 different haplotypes and the physical mapping of 10 and 5 recombination sites, respectively. Although most recombination sites within the studied section of the Indian rhesus monkey MHC are situated between the Mhc-A and Mhc-B regions, the resulting recombination rate for this genomic segment is low and similar to that in humans. In contrast, in Indonesian/Indochinese macaques, two recombination sites, which appear to be absent in rhesus macaques, map between the class III and II regions. As a result, the mean recombination frequency of the core MHC, Mhc-A to class II, is higher in Indonesian/Indochinese cynomolgus than in Indian rhesus macaques, but as such is comparable to that in humans. The present communication demonstrates that the dynamics of recombination 'hot/cold spots' in the MHC, as well as their frequencies, may differ substantially between highly related macaque species.
