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

Interphase nuclei isolated from paraffin-embedded tissue of four normal brains were hybridized with biotinated repetitive DNA probes specific for the (peri)centromeric regions of chromosomes 1 and 7. Hybridization results were visualized with a peroxidase-DAB system after which the number of specific signals per nucleus was counted using bright field microscopy. Using the probe specific for chromosome 7 (p7t1), both the cerebral and the cerebellar samples showed 2 spots in 82% and 83%, respectively, of the nuclei. In situ hybridization with the chromosome 1 probe (pUC1.77) showed two spots in 69% of the cerebral nuclei. In cerebellar samples, hybridization with pUC1.77 resulted in only one large spot per nucleus in 82% of the cells. The average spot size in nuclei with one signal was about 1.6 times as large as that in nuclei with two signals. These observations suggest that the single large spot in the cerebellar cells is not the result of monosomy of chromosome 1 but that it reflects somatic pairing of the two chromosome 1 centromeres. Based on the size and the fraction of nuclei with one large spot, the small granular neuron is the most likely candidate. The difference between cerebral and cerebellar samples indicates that this somatic pairing of chromosome 1 is a cell-type-dependent phenomenon.
