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

Homoeologous recombination, aneuploidy, and other genetic changes are common in resynthesized allopolyploid Brassica napus. In contrast, the chromosomes of cultivars have long been considered to be meiotically stable. To gain a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms leading to stabilization in the allopolyploid, the behavior of chromosomes during meiosis can be compared by unambiguous chromosome identification between resynthesized and natural B. napus. Compared with natural B. napus, resynthesized lines show high rates of nonhomologous centromere association, homoeologous recombination leading to translocation, homoeologous chromosome replacement, and association and breakage of 45S rDNA loci. In both natural and resynthesized B. napus, we observed low rates of univalents, A-C bivalents, and early sister chromatid separations. Reciprocal homoeologous chromosome exchanges and double reductions were photographed for the first time in meiotic telophase I. Meiotic errors were non-uniformly distributed across the genome in resynthesized B. napus, and in particular homoeologs sharing synteny along their entire length exhibited multivalents at diakinesis and polysomic inheritance at telophase I. Natural B. napus appeared to resolve meiotic errors mainly by suppressing homoeologous pairing, resolving nonhomologous centromere associations and 45S rDNA associations before diakinesis, and reducing homoeologous cross-overs.
