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 fundamental question for meiosis is how homologous chromosomes (homologs) find each other and pair together to ensure homologous recombination and segregation. Intuitively, the answer to the question is related to the interaction between homologous sequences. However, that is not the whole story according to some studies on the role of cohesins in homolog pairing. The most recent one by Ishiguro et al.[1] of the Watanabe group indicates that chromosome architecture defined by a meiosis-specific cohesin protein RAD21L is the key to homology searching. Moreover, they report that homologous pairing is dependent on neither SPO11, an evolutionarily conserved type 2 isomerase responsible for generating DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), nor SUN1, which tethers the ends of chromosomes to the nuclear envelop (NE) and facilitates chromosome movement and bouquet formation. These discoveries are quite some surprises!
